SUMMARY 

• Function: Avoidance of lawsuits, danger, detection, accidents, traps, and unseen threats.

• Real Case: A former owner of a similar piece survived Thailand’s “war on drugs” era despite being on a shoot-on-sight list.

• Material: Graduk chang kraden, carved into a detailed naga motif.

• Back Components: Cave soil + river soil, old coin for elemental stability, naga gem for clarity/insight, paneang chip from a lersi of naga practices, binding powder for cohesion.

• Maker: Por Sala Tan, crafted when he had the rare combination of materials and inspiration.

• Best For: People who work in dangerous or high-risk environments—physical, legal, or competitive industries.

• Energy Quality: Evasive, protective, sharp in intuition, gives “early warning sense.”

Por Sala Tan’s naga carved from graduk chang kraden represents one of the stronger evasive-protection pieces made during his earlier years, when suitable bone material and ritual powders were available at the same time. The carving itself carries the movement of a naga in defensive posture—coiled, alert, and woven with his handwritten script across the entire surface. This script expresses the naga’s attributes: disappearance from danger, slipping out of entanglements, and maintaining clarity in moments of chaos.

Wearers often describe immediate effects. One luksit—long associated with Por Sala Tan’s lineage—carried a similar piece during the nationwide campaign against narcotics, a period when certain individuals were marked with shoot-on-sight orders. He survived multiple police operations by sheer avoidance: raids where others were caught, checkpoints he somehow bypassed, and confrontations where officers overlooked him entirely. Within the community, this story remains one of the strongest examples of the naga’s evasive qualities.

The reverse side is structured as a stabilising field. Cave soil and river soil were combined for grounding and flow—two opposing elements that balance each other. A very old coin anchors the amulet’s energy through its metal signature, preventing the power from becoming too “fast” or scattered. Above it, a naga gem signifies the deva realm’s clarity and is meant to steady the mind when navigating danger. A small paneang chip from a lersi who practiced naga arts adds lineage essence, ensuring the amulet behaves according to traditional naga wicha rather than merely functioning as decoration.

Por Sala Tan made this piece simply because, at that moment, the materials aligned and the inspiration was strong. He carved it by hand and kept it with him for a period before allowing it to be released. The energy is well-suited for those in environments where the threat is not always physical—industries involving legal pressure, competition, strategy, or situations where visibility can be a risk. It supports intuitive avoidance, quick repositioning, and the kind of awareness that keeps one a step ahead of hostile intentions.
