Phra Sip Tat “Ten Buddhas” Luang Phor Ngern Mekkapat Amulet | Thai Sacred Metal Talisman from Thailand
Phra Sip Tat — known among collectors as the “Ten Buddhas” amulet — is one of the most revered multi-figure tablets in the Thai Buddhist tradition, its protective power drawn from the simultaneous presence of the Buddha depicted across multiple canonical postures and mudras in a single composition. This example is cast in Mekkapat (also called “Mekaphat” or “Mekasit”), the sacred metal-mineral alloy traditionally compounded from spiritually potent materials including old amulets, temple metals, and consecrated mineral compounds — a composition believed to concentrate and amplify sacred energy far beyond ordinary cast metal.
The front presents a grand tiered architectural arrangement within a sharply pointed arch: a tall standing Buddha occupies the central upper niche, flanked by four standing figures across the upper register, above a lower row of five seated Buddhas in individual pointed arch niches, all resting on a decorated triple-tiered base. The dark Mekkapat surface carries a deep blue-black patina with subtle mineral variation throughout, the hallmark of genuine sacred alloy composition.
The reverse bears a bold triangular yantra (sak yant) enclosing four Khom script sacred syllables with a small seated Buddha at center, and Thai script inscription attributing the piece below.
This design is attributed to Luang Phor Ngern (หลวงพ่อเงิน) who is one of the most famous and revered monk-masters in Thai Buddhist history, primarily associated with Wat Bang Klan in Phichit Province, central Thailand. Collectors and devotees revere this amulet for bringing immense luck, enhancing financial ability, attracting loving-kindness, and providing “weapon-proof” (Kong Grapan) protection. A nice, solid, heavy piece!
