🇲🇲 Burmese Lacquerware or Yun De
Known as Yun De , traditional Myanmar lacquerware is one of the country’s most famous handicrafts. The origin of Myanmar lacquerware dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries in Bagan, which is the center for this handicraft. The coating and varnish are made from the sap of a Thitsi tree, making furniture and more decorative pieces beautifully shiny.
The raw material used to manufacture the lacquerware is bamboo, creating different forms of artwork from bracelets to trays and furniture. Some items depict Buddhist images and are gilded in gold. These handicrafts are staples in Myanmar homes, where many people use them as baskets, cups, and bowls. Around Bagan, you can visit lacquer shops to see the making of the lacquerware up-close. 📎 For more information...
