19th Century Antique Burmese Shwe Zawa Lacquerware
Ca. 19th century Burmese Shwe Zawa Hsun OK lacquerware Offering stupa or bowl. The stupa is constructed from wood, coated in lacquer and gold gilt. Hsun-ok bowls are used to carry offerings to the monk and monasteries.

The delicacy of the gilt work, excellent condition and overall style of the piece is very unusual.
