Buddhist amulets, blessed by a highly regarded abbot from Thailand's northeast, mark Thailand's entry into the crypto art market
This handout courtesy of CryptoAmulets founder Ekkaphong Khemthong taken on June 9, 2021 and released on June 22, 2021 shows replicas of the digital amulets bearing an image of the face of Buddhist abbot Luang Pu Heng being displayed during a blessing ceremony at the Wat Pattana Thammaram temple in Surin.
"I am an amulet collector and I was thinking about how I could introduce amulets to foreigners and to the world," he told AFP. He splashed holy water onto his own visage as his saffron-robed disciples chanted and scattered yellow petals on the altar where the portraits were mounted.
