This handcrafted lacquerware ashtray features the revered white elephant (???), an enduring symbol of power, peace, and royal auspiciousness in Myanmar. Representing spiritual legitimacy and astrological meaning—especially for those born on Wednesday—it reflects the depth of Burmese beliefs woven into everyday objects.
Meticulously shaped from bamboo and finished with natural thitsi lacquer, the ashtray is etched using the Yun Htoe technique to bring the elephant motif to life. Functional as a smoking accessory or collectible accent, it connects users to Myanmar’s regal heritage and artisan tradition in a refined, meaningful way.
