Phra Hoo Yahn is a Buddhist 
						 
		      																									
						amulet that originates 
						from 
						
			      																								
			      Wat Phra Sri Rattanamahathat in 
                																								
              Lopburi, and is cast from iron. It depicts a 
						
		      																									
						Buddha image
						seated in the 
		      
		      																									
		      half lotus position on a 
                																								
              lotus pedestal, while performing the 
						maravijaya mudra. 
						
						The amulet's name derives from the Buddha's elongated earlobes, which are the result of the wearing of heavy golden earrings during his time as a prince, prior to renouncing his royal life.
