According to its provenance, Por Sala Tan selected naturally occurring wood whose original growth already resembled the phallic form of a Palakit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA naked female figure was subsequently carved into its upper portion.

Over generations, individual masters created their own interpretations, carving Palakit from auspicious woods and adding yants, takruts, sacred substances or figurative imagery according to their lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFemale figures also appear within certain Palakit traditions. Their presence commonly shifts the emphasis towards \u003cstrong\u003eMetta and Maha Saneh\u003c\/strong\u003e, representing attraction, receptiveness and the drawing together of people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePor Sala Tan’s Palakit Nang Prai follows this latter tradition but carries an additional spiritual element. According to the account surrounding these pieces, the female image represents a spirit encountered in connection with the place from which the unusual wood originated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Nang Prai\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNang Prai\u003c\/em\u003e is a broad term within Thai folk belief referring to a female spirit. It does not describe one universal deity or single type of spirit, and its meaning depends greatly upon the lineage and circumstances surrounding an individual sacred object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of this piece, Por Sala Tan reportedly encountered the presence of a female spirit lingering near the tree from which the material was obtained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough his ritual practice, the spirit was invited to become associated with the Palakit and to receive merit through its future keeper. The female form carved into the upper section therefore carries significance beyond decoration: it represents the feminine presence connected with the material and its preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin Por Sala Tan’s wiccha, this association was directed particularly towards \u003cstrong\u003eMaha Saneh, attraction and Metta Maha Niyom\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigins of the Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foundation of this Palakit is a naturally formed piece of wood whose growth already resembled the characteristic phallic shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch naturally unusual formations occupy an interesting place within Thai animist collecting traditions. When wood, stone, root or another natural substance develops into an auspicious or recognisable form without being deliberately shaped, collectors may regard the material itself as possessing unusual \u003cem\u003ekhun\u003c\/em\u003e or inherent character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePor Sala Tan retained the natural Palakit form and worked upon it individually rather than completely reshaping the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe female figure was carved into the upper section, allowing the original natural form and the intended Nang Prai imagery to become a single artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSacred Material \u0026amp; Ritual\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the principal carving was completed, Por Sala Tan inscribed sacred yants directly upon the artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head and female figure were then treated with \u003cstrong\u003enatural red sap obtained from the tree\u003c\/strong\u003e, blended with Saneh herbs according to his preparation.
