Phra Somkor amulet is sometimes called ‘Buddha of Fortune’. It was said that when an inscription was found, what written in the chidi was: “Poverty will never fall on those who possess this amulet”. The amulets were from Kamphengphet province. The buddha image seems to have a mixture of Sukhothai style and Sri Lankan style and they are estimated to be made approximately 500 years ago. A layer of calcium covers the surface of the buddha penant, thus proving authenticity of its ancient history.
