Lacquerware Ashtray: Golden Etched Dragon Motif
This striking ashtray celebrates the Dragon (Naga), a revered symbol of power and divine guardianship in Myanmar. Depicted with flowing movement and intricate scales, the Dragon’s form conveys a commanding presence and spiritual strength deeply rooted in Burmese mythology.
The value of craftsmanship is showcased through the refined combination of Yun Htoe (hand-etched relief) and Shwe Yay (gold detailing). This dual method adds tactile depth and visual richness, reflecting the mastery of Bagan’s lacquer artisans. Built on a bamboo core with natural Thit-si lacquer, it perfectly fuses durability with high-art refinement.
More than a smoking accessory, this piece offers a meaningful connection to Myanmar’s majestic energy. It serves as a protective symbol in your space, providing a refined cultural accent that elevates modern living with the enduring spirit of Burmese artistry.
