Lacquerware Ashtray: Golden Etched Garuda Motif
This exquisite ashtray celebrates the Garuda (?????), a legendary bird symbolizing bravery and spiritual energy. Associated with Sunday in the Myanmar zodiac, the Garuda’s outstretched wings represent authority and guardianship—a timeless emblem of protection found in royal and sacred art.
The value of craftsmanship is showcased through a sophisticated dual-technique process. Skilled artisans use Yun Htoe to create depth through relief carving, while hand-applied gold detailing brings the design to life. Every shimmering feather is a testament to the precision required to master these centuries-old cultural arts.
More than a functional accessory, this piece offers a deep emotional connection to Myanmar’s legacy of faith. It serves as a spiritual guardian in your space, providing the benefit of a refined art piece that radiates the strength and beauty of traditional lacquerware.
