This amulet of Kuman Thong was released by a Sorcery master at Bang Ban, in Ayutthaya Province, by hand-carved from the sacred wood. This sacred hand-carved effigy is made from the wood of a holy magical Ta-khian tree. Ta-khian trees are considered sacred and are rarely felled. The mighty spirit is believed to inhabit these trees, and the spirit will be furious and curse whoever uses the wood. It is one of the most potent magical woods to make spirit-inhabited effigies. It is considered a primarily benevolent spirit but can be morally good or evil, and the spirit will be furious and curse whoever uses the wood.
The only holy person to cut down a Ta-khian tree is a monk, and they must hold a ceremony requesting the spirit tree's permission. The Thai people believed this type of wood possessed the most potent magical force and was inhabited by the spirit. This image was one of a handful of sacred hand-carved wooden effigies made and released with a blessing ceremony. Its exclusivity goes without question because only a few of these images were made, but also because each image is entirely different and unique because of the hand-carved and personal skills used in making it.
Kuman Thong is created through the knowledge, the power of the master himself. The characteristics of any Kuman Thong will depend entirely on the master's technique to make it.
