The Pidta has double sides. The surface of each side coated with black lacquer.
And it was originally framed with a copper strip and the loop was soldered with lead. This is an oldtime method on amulet making.
Most part of the black lacquer was loosened off due to a long time passing by, but the lacquer remnants can still be seen on the surface.
The Pidta is SMALL in size but BIG in its efficacies covering all aspects for Metta, KlaewKlaad, fortune and KongkraphanChatri.
It's called by professionals as "Pidta Lek Dee Ros Toh" or a "Little Big Pidta" for life protection.
By its compact size, the Pidta is suitable for a man, lady, young boy or girl.
INVULNERABILITY
About 25 years ago at PhuKaothong (Wat Saket, BKK) festival fair, an old vender was stabbed many times by a drunken man, but the knife could not cut through his body.
The thrilling highlight of the event is that the drunken man sitting on the vender's abdomen, holding the knife tightly and insanely plunged the knife onto the vender's body many...many times.
Then someone at the scene shouted, "Police!...help...help...a man stabbed...!!"
The drunken man was shocked by the shout. He threw the knife and ran away.
A group of well-wished people rushed to the vender and held him up aiming to bring him to a hospital, but they were amazed that no wounds and no blood but just little scratches on the vender body !!
The helping people found that on the neck of the old vender hanged a LP Doem Pidta as same as the one seen above.

LP DOEM'S ELEPHANTS
As elephant is a kind of carrier in up-countries in the old times, LP Doem kept many elephants.
He cast spells on every elephant's legs and sometimes fed them with blessed grass.
As a preceptor, LP Doem was often invited to many temples to preside over the ordination ceremony by riding on elephant's back.
All his elephants are very tamed.
After reaching destination, the elephant would be let go freely to feed itself by eating grass in the nearby areas.
Amazingly, when the ceremony was going to end with some chanting chapter, the elephant would go back by itself
It would kneel down waiting for him, picking him up and brought him back to Wat NongPho.
LP Doem had profound knowledge on elephants' controlling called "KotchaSart".
He had Yana (intuition knowledge) to detect elephants' mind. So, it's easy for him to communicate them.
When LP Doem passed away, his elephants cried with grief and refused to eat food.
BENEVOLENT MASTER
LP Doem is a greatest builder of temples. He helped build more than 30 temples in Nakonsawan and nearby provinces, such as Phijit, Pitsanulok and Chainart.
His benevolence was so great, he cared about the water in temple's pond which was the main blood vessel for all monks in the temple.
He was very happy if the pond was full of water.
When the pond was running out of water in dry season, he would go to the Bosth to meditate and request for rain.
DEVAS' RAIN
On the day of his passing, his monk disciples had told him that the water level was very low, it's nearly run out. If there was no rain in a few days, the pond would dry up.
Luang Phor Doem nodded his head while he was lying ill on the floor.
"My sons I'm going to leave this world, I wish you all be good monk and be happy forever, don't worry about the water in the pond, it will be full", said he.
A few minutes later, he passed away.
Suddenly, the lightning flashed in the sky and a clap of thunder striked, a very heavy rain poured!!
Only one hour later the pond was full of water again ! This is the great miraculous passing event of LP Doem.
LP Doem had lived a long life. He passed away in B.E. 2494 at the age of 92 after 70 years of his ordination for monkhood.
