This striking ritual shirt, dyed in deep red, is a rare protective garment inscribed with sacred yantras — mystical diagrams long used in Thai traditions to invoke blessings, strength, and protection.
Originating from Wat Krating, Chantabun Province, the shirt bears the image of Luang Phor Khien, a revered monk known for consecrating powerful talismans. Created in 1995, it bridges history and spirituality — a piece of wearable armor infused with ritual intent.
In Thai-Buddhist and animist traditions, the deep red cloth symbolizes vitality, courage, and protective fire, amplifying the potency of the yantras inscribed across its surface. More than cloth, it stands as a living artifact — a shield woven with energy, lineage, and devotion.

Note on Sacred Objects
Our pieces often originate in Buddhist traditions, yet their essence is universal. You do not need to be Buddhist — nor hold any specific beliefs — to welcome them into your life. These objects are not bound to religious worship; they are reminders of awareness, compassion, and our shared human connection. Whether worn, carried, or placed in your space, they serve as anchors for mindfulness and presence — a quiet reminder that we are all connected.
