This box celebrates the timeless precision of Myanmar’s temple architecture, depicting rhythmic geometric patterns found on the walls of 11th-century pagodas. These ancient motifs offer an emotional connection to the spiritual history of Bagan, bringing a sense of structural harmony and scholarly elegance into your home.

The supreme value of craftsmanship is showcased through the intricate Yun Htoe hand-etching.

Blending ancient symbolism with refined utility, this slender box is traditionally used for keeping cheroots, but also serves perfectly for storing jewelry or writing instruments.
