Large Antique Lacquered Burmese Basket

This piece embodies the spirit of rural Burma. Once a simple hand-woven rice basket of rattan or bamboo, its four-footed form kept it off the ground, blending practicality with understated beauty. Now transformed with a rich red lacquer—symbolizing fortune, happiness, and royalty—it becomes art. The rattan texture peeking through recalls its humble origins and the skilled hands that crafted it, bridging tradition with vibrant elegance.
