Phra Chinnarat Bai Sema is
a Buddhist
amulet
that
depicts
the
Phraphutta Chinnarat
Buddha image (fig.) from
Wat Phra
Sri Rattanamahathat Wora Maha Wihaan, which is
seated in the
half lotus position on a
lotus pedestal and in front of a structure
called crystal palace, or reuan kaew in Thai (fig.), which has a shape reminiscent of
stone boundary markers, that are known in Thai as
bai sema (fig.),
hence the name of the amulet.
