This is a LP Kant 9-tired ivory Somdej carved by Phayuhakiri folk artisan and blessed by LP Kant, a closest and the most senior disciple of LP Doem Wat NongPho, in early 2500s.
The surface of the ivory Somdej is candle-wax like and greasy look confirming its oldness.
On the backside there is a simple line-art image of Nangkwak with the starting zodiac symbol rat below. Practically it represents all zodiacs, so it can be worn by everyone.
The LP Kant ivory Somdej has broad properties and efficacies - for Metta, life safty, wealth & fortune, career progress & promotion, family harmony, etc.
The Somdej was carved by hand tools - carving knives. It's primitive method - no modern machine was available in the rural Phayuhakiri at that time.
Phayuhakiri is a District of Nakonsawan province. It's close to the southern Takli District where Wat NongPho located.
LP Doem had many close disciples viz:-
- LP Kant of Wat KaoKaew
- LP Chan of Wat Klong Ranong
- LP Choi Wat Hua-Ngiew
- LP Noi of Wat NongPho
- LP Onn of Wat Kokdua
- LP Oii of Wat Nongbua
- LP Sod of Wat Hangnamsakorn
- LP Od of Wat Chansen
In among LP Doem's disciples, LP Kant is most senior.
LP Kant was born in B.E.2434 and ordained for his monkhood in B.E.2455.
LP Kant was an early-period and a closest disciple of LP Doem, Wat NongPho. He learned Phutdhakom (Buddhistic incantation) with LP Doem since early years of his ordination.
LP Kant succeeded all incantation knowledge from LP Doem, which includes making and blessing of MeedMoh, Singharaj (Lion King), and many other ivory carving amulets.
LP Kant was appointed by SangKha (monk administration) to be the Abbot of Wat KaoKaew, Nakonsawan, in B.E.2461.
While LP Doem helped build and renovate many temples since 2460s, It's LP Kant who followed LP Doem to construction sites to alleviate LP Doem's burden.
LP Doem created and blessed ivory Singharaj in 2460s. After his passing in B.E.2494, LP Kant sat his place and successively created and blessing efficacious ivory amulets since late 2490s.
A lot of early period of LP Kant ivory Singharajs created since late 2490s (after LP Doem's passing) up to early 2500s were sold at a high price as LP DOEM'S STUFFS !
LP Kant passed away in B.E.2513 at the age of 79 after living his long-year monkhood for 58 years.
