Description
The Garuda is an enduring symbol of power and protection in Myanmar’s folklore. This box features a finely sculpted Garuda head on the lid, offering a deep emotional connection to themes of courage and defense, bringing a sense of mythic grandeur and spiritual security into your home.

The supreme value of craftsmanship is showcased through the dual mastery of Yun Htoe etching. Master artisans carve the Garuda’s bold expression and flowing wave patterns into layers of authentic Thit-si lacquer, creating a rich, layered texture. This labor-intensive process reflects the incredible precision and artistic devotion of Bagan’s master craftsmen.

Blending mythic symbolism with refined utility, this box is traditionally used for keeping cheroots, but also serves perfectly for jewelry or treasured keepsakes. It provides the benefit of owning a "living legend," enriching your space with the masterful artistry and rhythmic harmony of Myanmar’s ancient cultural arts.
