The origin of Burmese lacquerware can be traced back to the Bagan period from the 12th to the 13th century. It is not only a historical ancient city in Myanmar, but also one of the birthplaces of lacquerware in Southeast Asia1.

Although lacquerware culture originated from China, the Burmese people combined their own Buddhist culture on the basis of learning and reference, and carried out innovation and development, and finally formed a lacquerware craft with a unique Burmese style2.

Cultural significance:

In Myanmar, lacquerware is not only a daily necessity, such as the bowls used by monks to beg for alms and the bowls in ordinary people's homes, but also an indispensable item in religious and social activities, such as the makeup boxes on women's dressing tables or gift paintings for relatives and friends2.
