This item was found and purchased at a bazaar during a visit to Wat Pak Klong Makam Thao (Buddhist temple) in Chai Nat Province, Thailand, in October 2024. It is a small amulet worn by Thai Buddhists. According to Google Lens, it is an amulet from a highly revered monk named Luang Pu Suk, who served as the abbot of Wat Pak Klong Makam Thao (Buddhist temple). Please refer to the following: https://www.amuletssiam.org/certificate/as202213562/ Amulet type: Turtle amulet, lead alloy, approximately 1897 - 1923. Size: Height: approx. 25mm Width: approx. 25mm Depth: approx. 12mm Weight: approx. 32g ★Thai turtle amulets are sacred Phra Khruang (amulets) believed to have effects such as "strong financial fortune and business prosperity," "longevity and health," and "warding off evil and protection." Due to a legend of saving shipwrecked sailors, it is said to have a strong power to protect its owner from danger, and is loved by many people, especially as an amulet to improve financial and business luck. Despite its small size, it feels heavy in the hand. I believe it is a rare item. #Turtle #Amulet #Talisman #Thailand #LuangPuSuk
