In traditional Burmese lacquerware making, decoration is done by etching with free hands, entirely of memory and experience, using a stylet.  Although Myanmar acquired the technique of making lacquer from its neighbours, the subsequent development of design motifs is quite unique. These motifs draw their inspiration from enthralled reservoir of Buddhist mythology and Burmese folklore.
