Chao Khun Sri Wat Suthat

Cast Buddha Image for Sunday (Phra Prathom Wan Arthit)
Master: Phra Chao Khun Sri (Sondi), Wat Suthat
Year: B.E. 2494 (1951)

This cast Buddha image, representing Sunday, was created under Phra Chao Khun Sri (Sondi) of Wat Suthat in 1951. It is one of the most well-crafted and sought-after examples in the series, retaining sharp details and untouched original filing marks. The condition is outstanding for its age, making it a highly collectible piece.

The alloy used follows the same sacred metal formula as the renowned Phra Kring and Tao Wessuwan of Wat Suthat, incorporating leftover materials from the Phra Kring casting. Because of this, it carries the same spiritual weight and blessings, serving as a worthy and more attainable alternative to those famous pieces.

This example matches the standard reference mold featured in “Phra Kring Chao Khun Sri, Wat Suthat Thepwararam,” the official publication compiled by Ajarn Muek Tha Phrachan’s team.
