These sources were melted and combined before being prepared for inscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReusing older sacred metal follows the principle that material which has already participated in religious or ritual activity carries a history of prayer, dedication and contact with sacred places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting lead surface was then individually inscribed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith age, such material naturally develops a dark grey appearance, oxidation and variations across the surface. The handwritten lines can likewise vary in depth according to the pressure of the stylus and the condition of the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRitual\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe consecration of this yantra was unusually prolonged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the history accompanying these pieces, Por Sala Tan worked with them for \u003cstrong\u003emore than one year\u003c\/strong\u003e, returning to the yantras during different \u003cstrong\u003esolar and lunar events\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than completing the entire consecration in a single ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reflects the internal structure of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003elunar aspect — Jantra\u003c\/strong\u003e was connected with Yin qualities, Saneh, attraction and subtler forms of fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esolar aspect — Suriyan\u003c\/strong\u003e represented the opposite but complementary principle: illumination, vitality, authority and baramee — a continuous force traditionally compared with the Sun's ability to radiate energy without interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe planetary formulas completed the system by introducing different celestial influences around these two major forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intention was therefore not simply to “bless a lead plate”, but to progressively establish and seal its different cosmological components at appropriate stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlessings and Effects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central quality of Yant 9 Phaen Din Suriyan Jantri is \u003cstrong\u003eBaramee\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor practitioners, this traditionally concerns strengthening spiritual authority and maintaining sufficient personal presence when working with powerful or Yin-oriented artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lay devotees, the same principle is interpreted more practically as \u003cstrong\u003eleadership, confidence, respect and stronger personal standing\u003c\/strong\u003e — particularly relevant to those carrying responsibility for other people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe planetary and lunar components broaden the traditional purposes towards \u003cstrong\u003ewealth, Choke Lap, opportunity, Metta and Saneh\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than representing wealth alone, they concern circumstances becoming more favourable: assistance arriving, opportunities becoming visible and relationships moving more smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solar component provides the balancing force of \u003cstrong\u003evitality, stability and authority\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken as a whole, the yantra was traditionally understood as a system for \u003cstrong\u003ebaramee, health, prosperity, attraction, opportunity and the balancing of strong spiritual influences\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModern Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a modern collector, this piece has particular relevance to someone already keeping a substantial collection of \u003cstrong\u003eBarang, spirit-oriented or Yin-based artifacts\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin Por Sala Tan's system, it can serve as a central baramee piece rather than adding another spirit-oriented presence to the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is equally appropriate for business owners, managers and people in positions of responsibility. Its traditional emphasis upon authority and baramee complements situations requiring \u003cstrong\u003eleadership, negotiation, recognition and the confidence to make decisions under pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, however, its strongest appeal may simply be historical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belongs to an early period of Por Sala Tan's work when complicated yantras were still being \u003cstrong\u003epersonally inscribed onto prepared lead\u003c\/strong\u003e, long before such surviving pieces became difficult to encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePhysical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a large circular \u003cstrong\u003ehand-inscribed lead yantra dating to Por Sala Tan's early B.E. 250x period\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both faces contain densely arranged sacred diagrams, planetary forms, numerical grids, Khom inscriptions and surrounding formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne face centres upon a large planetary arrangement surrounded by additional circular and divided yantras. The opposite face carries another central celestial diagram together with four prominent numerical grids and further surrounding inscriptions. The entire composition was executed directly into the prepared lead rather than produced as a modern printed design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aged lead has developed a deep grey surface with natural oxidation, while variations in the handwritten lines preserve the individual character of the original inscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor practitioners keeping many \u003cstrong\u003eYin or spirit-based artifacts\u003c\/strong\u003e, this yantra can act as the principal \u003cstrong\u003ebaramee and balancing piece\u003c\/strong\u003e within the collection. There is no need to surround it with additional complicated yantras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ordinary wear, it pairs naturally with a respected \u003cstrong\u003eBuddha image, monk Roop Lor or Lersi artifact\u003c\/strong\u003e. The companion piece provides a clear devotional centre, while the Suriyan-Jantri yantra contributes its broader planetary, lunar and solar symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can equally be kept alone, particularly when the intention is baramee, leadership, prosperity and maintaining balance around an existing collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePersonal Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this piece especially significant to me is its \u003cstrong\u003eage and the amount of work required to produce it\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not one of Por Sala Tan's later, more readily encountered artifacts. It comes from his younger period, when he was still personally writing this extremely detailed form for selected practitioners and luksits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the lineage, he ceased producing it around \u003cstrong\u003eB.E. 2515\u003c\/strong\u003e because the proportions and extremely fine inscriptions demanded perfect eyesight. The consecration itself was also not completed in a single sitting, but developed over more than a year through different solar and lunar occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat combination — \u003cstrong\u003eold sacred lead, handwritten construction, an extended celestial consecration and a form eventually discontinued by Por Sala Tan\u003c\/strong\u003e — is why surviving examples are rarely seen today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a serious Por Sala Tan collection, I regard this less as another individual amulet and more as an early \u003cstrong\u003emaster yantra representing his understanding of baramee, planetary influence and the balance between Suriyan and Jantra — Sun and Moon.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOBThaiAmulets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48361064333449,"sku":null,"price":385.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/1831\/0793\/files\/Untitled-92-3.jpg?v=1789610430","url":"https:\/\/oobamulets.com\/products\/por-sala-tan-1077","provider":"OOBThaiAmulets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
