Circular Lacquerware Ashtray – Hand-Etched N?ga (Dragon Serpent) Motif
This handcrafted ashtray brings the N?ga (Burmese Dragon) to life in a coiled posture representing concentrated strength and divine guardianship. Deeply rooted in Myanmar's spiritual tradition, the N?ga symbolizes protection and transformation, serving as a timeless emblem of heritage.
The value of craftsmanship is showcased through the ancient Yun Htoe technique. Artisans hand-etch intricate scales into layers of natural Thit-si lacquer, revealing traditional red and green pigments beneath the surface. This meticulous process creates a vibrant depth and lifelike energy that reflects months of patient hand-polishing and sun-drying.
More than a functional accessory, this piece offers a bold connection to the protective spirits of Myanmar. It serves as a striking décor piece that brings cultural empowerment and legendary artistry into your modern living space.
