The
front side of the
Jatukam-Ramathep
amulet shows the god
Tao
Ramathep surrounded by the animals of the
Chinese
zodiac, a reference to the coat of arms
of
Nakhon Sri Thammarat (fig.)
and by eight figures that represent the demon-god
Rahu.
The back side of the
Jatukam-Ramathep amulet shows a relief with some
ancient
yan signs
that have a
religious or
animist
protective purpose.
