Por Sala Tan

This 1-inch Pikanet piece by Por Sala Tan is crafted from gaduk chang kraden and stands out for both its careful construction and the depth of its components. The front shows the hand-carved image of Phra Pikanet, created by a respected village master who was once a mahout. The carving has a distinct presence, with the form embodying both grace and strength.

The reverse side is particularly significant. At the center is a strip of nang chang, twisted in a manner similar to drum skin—an element directly tied to the wiccha of LP Derm, long associated with strength, stability, and unshakable power. Surrounding it are three deep-red Sivali relics, chosen to amplify blessings of fortune and sustained success. Together, these additions create a strong base for career advancement, financial growth, and the clearing of life’s obstacles.

Three takruts were placed to harmonize the different forces within the piece, balancing protective and progressive energies. The base mixture also includes soil collected from seven Buddhist sites, rooting the amulet in merit and anchoring it to sacred ground.

The effect of this construction is not theoretical—owners have shared direct experiences. One customer who obtained this Pikanet reported securing a well-paying job shortly afterward, attributing the breakthrough to the amulet’s blessings. This reflects the traditional view of Pikanet as a remover of obstacles and a deity who opens the way for achievement.

In its design, materials, and ritual balance, this piece is a complete expression of baramee. It carries both protective weight and forward-driving power, making it a practical and spiritually rich companion for those seeking progress in career, stability in life, and success in their undertakings.
