Phra Yod Khunphon (Set of Five Amulet Buddha images)
A charm or protective ornament believed to shield its bearer from misfortune. Often confused with its counterpart the talisman, an object believed to bring good fortune rather than protection. Buddhist devotional plaques or amulets are often worn in Thailand to serve an apotropaic purpose, i.e. to ward off bad luck and evil. They protect the wearer against disaster.
Stamps depicting the five popular and well-known amulets with Buddha images, which amulet collectors collectively refer to as Phra Yod Khunphon, namely: 1. Phra Ruang Lang Peun; 2. Phra Hoo Yahn; 3. Phra Chinnarat Bai Sema; 4. Phra Mahesuan; 5. Phra Tha Kradahn.
