The amulet's materials are based on the clay used, which includes crab shells, clay, and fine clay dug deep into rice fields. The clay is then ground and sieved to obtain a medium-fine texture, resulting in fine sand grains all over the amulet. Some of this sand is buried beneath the surface, forming ridges that push the amulet into small, pointed bumps. Furthermore, the firing process uses rice husks, which are used to heat the amulets. The amulet's color is a brick or new pot color, similar to that of most clay amulets.
