Phra Ruang Lang Peun
is a Buddhist
amulet,
that originates
from
Wat Phra Sri Rattanamahathat in
Sri Satchanalai, in
Sukhothai Province, and
which dates back to the
Lopburi
Period, when it was first cast. It is about 8 centimeters tall, made from steel, and depicts a standing
Buddha image
in the pahng hahm yaht pose,
and wearing a crown in the Lopburi style. The back of the amulet has a cylindrical groove, which resembles the barrel of a gun, hence the name.
