Lacquerware Ashtray: Hand-Etched Dragon Motif
This striking ashtray celebrates the Naga (Dragon), a revered symbol of power and divine guardianship in Myanmar. Its flowing form reflects a harmonious balance between nature and belief, capturing the majestic energy and spiritual grace central to Burmese mythology.
The value of craftsmanship is showcased through the time-honored Yun Htoe technique. Artisans meticulously carve the dragon's scales into layers of natural Thit-si lacquer over a sustainable bamboo base. This patient process creates a lifelike presence and refined sculptural beauty that enhances the movement of the design.
More than a functional accessory, this piece offers a meaningful connection to Myanmar’s cultural richness. It serves as a protective symbol in your space, providing a striking tabletop accent that honors artistic mastery and the enduring spirit of traditional lacquerware.
