Kumaan duht rok, which literally means a ‘child sucking a placenta’, is the name of a Thai figurine that is used as a charm. It consists of a naked baby sitting down with its knees pulled up and sucking on a placenta that is still attached to the umbilical cord.

After an Aphinya monk's incantation, the charm is believed to bring on a good life and protect anyone who sees it against starvation, akin to a child that sits comfortably in the mother's womb where it is provided with plenty of food and warmth.
