Lacquerware Ashtray: Golden Peacock Motif
This elegant piece is a masterful reinterpretation of the Peacock, a cherished symbol of grace and pride in Myanmar. Crafted from a bamboo core with layers of authentic Thit-si lacquer, it showcases the timeless refinement of traditional Burmese craftsmanship.
The true value of this work lies in the Shwe Yay technique, where the peacock is meticulously hand-drawn in gold. Each line captures movement and elegance, transforming the surface into a visual narrative of heritage. Inspired by traditional cheroot rests, the raised back panel serves as a striking focal point that bridges ancient customs with contemporary style.
