Contained within this lot are eight antique Thai amulets, each enshrined in vintage Thai casings, with the largest amulet measuring 7 cm x 4 cm. These amulets, crafted from terracotta, are embodiments of a deep spiritual heritage and were traditionally used for protection, luck, and prosperity. Encased in silver and gold-tone vintage frames, they are not only objects of faith but also of considerable aesthetic value.

Thai amulets are often associated with Buddhist beliefs and are revered for their sacred power, which is believed to be conferred through consecration by renowned monks. The intricate casings that house these amulets are as significant as the terracotta pieces themselves, often reflecting the social status of the wearer and the regional artistic style. Such amulets are typically passed down through generations, accumulating personal and historical significance over time. This collection offers a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Thai cultural and religious history, with each amulet carrying its own story and spiritual weight.
