Phra Ngang, genuine and fake, how to distinguish..??
Phra Ngang or Phra Chai It is an ancient antique that is hundreds of years old. He is the great-grandfather of almost all amulets that we know in this day and age that is because of the lines of magic, great charm, great mercy, invulnerability, fortune, prestige, all are broken from scriptures. All ancient magic spells, with Phra Ngang or Phra Chai It is an amulet that is the beginning of the ancient mystical sciences because of its ancient fact that Phra Ngang is unable to adhere to the same standards as general amulets and therefore uses the standard of old bronze and various historical data.
Copper, tin, brass, zinc, lead, and others were used for casting together, so it was called bronze according to Phra Ngang in those days. There will be a mixture of psychic elements such as gold, mercury, iron, but It is very difficult for these elements to combine with other minerals. The builder in those days had to be a person with extraordinary power and courage. So I can create a picture out of it.
"Accomplishment according to international principles Almost all kinds of meat are ripe gold/copper orange/silver gold/green gold."
But what color will it be rust? It depends on the mineral mix. Here we are going to talk about basic bronze rust. Please understand because this part is the real details of people who intend to play the real monk only. People who love Phra Ngang and wish to see Phra Ngang as without having to believe a novel from anyone This article uses knowledge based on central international principles. Some of them are referenced from documents from the Department of Fine Arts. and all this information It will only be in the part of Phra Ngang only.
1.1 Brass (Brass is an alloy between copper and zinc) became brass. will rust green if bronze to golden brass It will rust green as well.
1.2 Silver bronze or alloy with a lot of silver mixed It rusts brown, old wood until it turns black.
1.3 Bronze has a lot of gold. It's rust, betel nut paint or red rust.
1.4 Bronze to Copper or bronze with a lot of copper ore Rust will become tamarind and green rust.
1.5 Bronze Tangtai Golden-green amulets are rusted red and green rust or alternating green moss (in brackets say green moss, that is, fresh green only).
1.6 Bronze, zucchini flowers or melon meat, the meat of each body may be differently beautiful. Depends on the elements that are used to mold and mix them into one body.
If the meat in the original yellow color is cooked The ancient people would call the zucchini flower meat. If the meat is rusted, green moss and red at the same time and the inside is golden, ancient people call it melon meat. If the meat has silver with red rust It may be reddish brown or burnt brown. I understand the same.
(Real zucchini flowers are hard to find, but as far as you can see, ordinary brass or chemically soaked At present, people who do not see the achievements are not aware of what is true or not true. It hits all the zucchini flowers together. In fact, zucchini flower meat or melon meat is not that easy to find. And most importantly, the rust must be fine grained. The real rust must not have a brush streak. or a cat's fur pattern or the rust is too smooth
Examination of old or new bronze amulets
To be a collector of Phra Ngang or ancient bronze amulets in this day and age requires a lot of investment. What is the old monk or the new monk? The risk of being scammed is very high. A large number of people still do not understand. In the way of checking to see the real Buddha image, Phra Ngang which is an old thing that is indeed old

Most of the new monks When entering the Phra Ngang circle, there are some people who know some. Influencing and suggesting in the wrong way, such as playing Phra Ngang as you like, without certain rules No mentors or trainers who are good, knowledgeable, would like to be rented. not knowing that the rental Is it a new monk or an old monk in the Phra Ngang circle, are they popular? Only believe in lies and listen to the seller's metaphysical history. In conclusion, collecting Buddha images is not good because they will go astray. waste of money Some may be boiled until the end is there.

D. Phra Ngang or ancient amulet that is 400 years old or older The casting is very slim, the whole body is a recipe of an ancient craftsman. Amulet over 400 years old, genuine, notice at the base of the Buddha statue
It will be very thin, but the casting of the Buddha image to make it very thin nowadays is much more advanced. but I can't This technique disappeared in the late Ayutthaya period. Today
Casting some is therefore an important secret to look at the new authentic of ancient monks (refer to the document book of the Fine Arts Department, year 1975).
archaic material Popular to create an ancient amulet, such as metal, gold, naga, silver, brass, copper, lead, zinc, and stone, when mixed together, it is called this sarit. only gold ore Silver and copper are real elements, the rest are alloys. Shining yellow gold, beautiful, high price, not transformed into other conditions. When mixed with other minerals, other minerals will cause the minerals to turn black. If that element is old, it will make the old one more clearly visible. Copper when mixed with other minerals will change that mineral For example, zinc-copper will turn into bronze according to the meaning of monks. Refers to a dull black alloy with a different texture. Depending on the ingredients For example, if the mixture is to silver, the metal surface will turn black. If the metal is mixed with gold, even if it is not much, then the metal It is more beautiful. The gold rust will turn into a reddish-pink color like the image of Phra Ngang on the bottom side. Metal mixed into bronze to create a Buddha image. Popularly called different names according to the mix, such as Panchaloha, and Nawaloha
For example, a mixture such as 85 % copper + 10% tin + 5% lead is a beautiful bronze with a light yellowish-orange color. The more copper the meat will be redder. If adding tin, it will turn out silver. If the lead is more, the bronze will weigh more (Higher Rd.) ... If mixed with a lot of zinc, it will be brass. The color is more light yellow (metal or brass is not in nature. It is an alloy only ).... /// Mixture of different metals. They have different melting points but they melt together.
Buddha amulet, bronze that appears to be the most black bronze green bronze red bronze Such bronze If there is a mixture of gold, the bronze will be more beautiful and clear.
Black bronze contains a lot of silver.
green bronze Contains a lot of brass
Bronze, burnt reddish-brown Contains a lot of copper ore.
The texture of the amulet, the rusty surface, the color of the old amulet is different, the color of the old amulet is different, and the rust of the amulet is different. This is because some old Ngang Buddha images are buried in the soil, dreaming in a cave. Some are kept in caves, in castles, temples, or kept in homes. The old amulet is buried in the soil in the thick rusted surface of the amulet. wrinkled stored in the housing estate The rusted surface is thin, beautiful, completely smooth.
Phra Ngang, bright bronze Classified as real old meat Its clarity is caused by long-established monks, bronze flesh eats the body. With the air being heated and cold for a long time, the Phra Ngang Buddha image is completely dry, causing rust stains. Natural wear and tear. Dryness dissipates moisture in the Buddha image, causing the Buddha image to dry up, causing it to become clear and clear. This clear oiliness can be seen with the eyes. It is in the middle of oiliness. luster and harshness
At this point, the genuine one on the left is called Thai melon, the real flesh is yellowish-green, the red rust and the green rust alternate alternately. The pure black flesh has the same level of color, the wrong principle.
On the left, the flesh has risen, the scales are all sparkling. Beautiful, smooth, mesmerizing. The right one is black. One color level. The whole body is wrong. These are just a few examples that are compared to the real thing. At present, since 2012, Phra Ngang Prom has a new and strange form. Out to be sold at the market in large numbers, we, sir, are all educated nowadays. Therefore, when deciding where to get information from should not accept only belief that have no real criteria
The left one is a Ngang amulet, decorated in Angkor Wat period, Khmer art, Indian face, with depth and intricate details. The old skin is so thin that the soil can be seen at various points. The flesh is orange and the flesh when exposed to the air will turn orange faster than other colors.

Fake Amulet Grade A
Landmark
1. Casting, printing from outside The nature of the ancient casting, wrinkles and the legend of the bronze in each body must be different. Especially the defects after casting are not the same. Even after touching for hundreds of years Different owners, different environments will have different textures But this Ngang amulet has some flaws in the same spot as shown in the picture. The overall condition of the amulet, if viewed, can be seen floating and decorated all over the body. If it has been used for a long time, it may disappear.
2. This set of Phra Ngang amulets are often used with a file to build a floating learning structure under the base because it is the easiest to make but there is usually no erosion on the Buddha image.
3. This fake Ngang amulet is unusually heavy, especially around the head of the Buddha image. The real old amulet will dry lightly due to the loss of happiness inside. in the Lord for hundreds of years But the latest bald typist has come to feel that the creators are trying to lose weight.
4. The soil under the base is not really old. People have seen the real thing until they are used to it. Try to use your finger to sweep it to make it look as smooth as it used to be. Some amulets are printed differently, but the color of the clay and the contents are exactly the same.
picture of soil in various colors
Soil must look at the naturalness as the main. It is possible if the real Ngang will fill the material, fill the lac or others to cover under another layer of base. But there must be other elements to support instead, such as the body of the Buddha image, light weight, naturalness, usability, and others must be available.
