Featuring another rare collection
of mine. Phra Pidta Phakhawan, Phim Bao Phrakop Mee Hu Lek ( small ears ) by late Than Kong @ Khron Ratchanaren @ Tok Raja
of Wat Bangsek @ Wat Uttamaram. This Phakhawam believe to be made and
consecrated around BE2480-98.
Sorry for amateur photos capturing
Both knees touch the acrylic casing
Sharing this Phakhawam does not
mean to show off or to gain respect from other bloggers ! The intention is
really simple, SHARING ! Sharing was actually not my intention in the 1st
place, 2 weeks back I took out my Phakhawam from the safe box and then I just
realized that the clear acrylic casing was worn out and the casing made in year
2001 by late Ah Goon @ Ah Gu touches the both of Phakhawan’s knees and back. Afraid of the casing
would damage the Phakhawam, I have forced open the casing to ensure the casing
would not affected the knees.
Suddenly the sense of SHARING struck upon my
mind. Perhaps it is the right time to share another one of my precious Than
Kong’s Pidta Phakhawam collections with my blog readers. Before my Granpa – Phor
Mor Keaw passed away he used to warn me not to share the Than Kong’s stuffs
openly especially the RARE ITEMS ( 6 hands Phakhawan Paryant and Phim Song Nar
– depicted Than Kong half body image with a thick Chivorn and phra Phakwam at
the reverse side ) as the irresponsible parties might copycat and produced the
fake / imitate to cheat people. It’s true that as you can see the fake Than Kong’s
Phakhawan flooded in our amulets market.
Luckily both of the knees and back are not affected by the rough acrylic casing
Before the sense of sharing struck me, some of my blog
readers a kinda CHALLENGE me to show / share more Than Kong’s stuffs (
especially Pidta Phakhawam ) by spreading the malicious rumour via other social chat
room by saying that all of my Than Kong’s stuffs are not mine. The stuffs are
only for SHARING base and of course taken / sharing from other people collections.
Some of them even sent me a CHALLENGE MAIL by provoking me to share all my Than
Kong’s collections as claimed.
To cut it
short, I decided to share this Phra Pidta Phakhawan, Phim Bao Phrakop Mee Hu Lek with my blog readers neither because
of the SHOW OFF, CHALLENGE, nor PROVOKING but MERELY because of the COINCIDENCE !
Coincidentally the casing is damage and I have to force open the casing !
That’s all guys !
Sharing a superb story …………
In year 2004, when I was
travelling alone to Sungai Petani to fetch my missus from IPG, the motorcycle
ridden by a couple of Malay old folks rammed my rear bumper at the traffic
lights junction. I parked my car by the roadside near to the guard post and off
my car to see what had actually happened. The old folks scolded at me and accused
me to stop without warning, the IPG guard came out and helped me to help the
old folk.
Within minute, a crowd of Malay guys from the stall nearby rushed
over and dashed across the road and within second I’m was surrounded by at
least 7/8 young Malay guys. They confronted me and accused me for reckless
driving. I denied it and told them that it is a traffic lights junction, I
had slower down and stopped when the traffic lights turn red, they said they saw I stopped the car
when the traffic lights turned to yellow n not the red. They said, Yellow means I have to
drive and not to stop. Bla bla bla bla ……….
Pissed off !
They keep on shouting and yelling at me. Nothing much I can do as
surrounded by 7/8 of them, the only thing I could do was BEGGING and SEEKING
help from Phakhawan, the only Than Kong’s stuff with me ! The rest of the
stuffs ( 6 hands Phkhawam Paryant, phim Song Nar and mai kru were kept in my
sling back inside my parked car ).
I touched the Phakhawam and chanted
the Than Kong’s Kambang Tuar ( Pelilau ) verses ……….
Mup Kap Mup Mup,
…………………………..
……………………………
……………………………
Roop Mai Chai Roop,
Rang Mai Chai Rang,
Hean Pean Ngau ……………
.............................
( Do not recite this incomplete verses ! )
Amazingly, the verses successfully to subdue the anger and the situation settled
down and that 7/8 Malay guys one by one retreat their anger and shut their mouth up then dispersed from
the scene. Some of them murmuring and babbling while crossing the road to the
opposite stall. Only 2 of them left to help the old lady to calm down before
sending her to the guard post bench. Both of them suffered the minor cut on the
knees and elbow.
The Malay guard then came to me and said the old folk rammed
the left side of my rear bumper when he tried to stop his machine at the
junction. He seeks my apologizes because couldn’t not able to disperse the
crowds because they’re too FIERCE !
Hahahahahahaha luckily not after my Missus collected my body and then
you will say sorry ! Damn, a typical
statement from a damn typical security guard !
Merely Sharing @ Perkongsian Semata !

Dear Wie
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your once again another eye opener article!
Mr. Wie if you are willing to let go this phakawan for a price, please let me know. I am looking at 50k ++ for such a beautiful piece for own wearing purposes.
Honestly, I am ashamed to ask you for this phakawan as this is your inheritance and maybe it is for the next Wie's generation. But should you feel that you wish to please let me know.
Regardless of your decision, thank you so much again for all your wonderful articles!
Best wishes and Happy New Year!
Jose
