Description

A Fine Burmese Lacquer and Engraved Bamboo Cylindrical Box (Hsun-ok or Kun-it) Burma (Myanmar), 19th Century
Height: 23 cm (9.1 inches) | Diameter: 23 cm (9.1 inches)
Bamboo, woven and reinforced, covered in layers of lacquer (thitsi) and decorated using the engraving and filling technique (thayo or pyi-daung)
This substantial cylindrical box is a characteristic and finely executed piece of Burmese lacquerware, demonstrating the complex artistry of the craft. While the term Hsun-ok usually refers to ceremonial offering vessels with tiered conical lids, this form is commonly known as a Betel Box (Kun-it) or a general storage vessel, reflecting the widespread use of lacquer in daily and ceremonial life.
Technique (Thayo): The box is constructed from finely woven and lacquered bamboo. The decoration is achieved through a multi-step process: Lacquer Ground: Multiple layers of dark lacquer (thitsi) were applied to the surface, creating a smooth, durable finish. Engraving: The surface was meticulously engraved with the design.
Colour Application: The engraved lines were then filled with contrasting colours—predominantly red and black—a palette typical of the period and region. The cylindrical form is decorated with fine, horizontal bands filled with intricate designs: The patterns consist of dense, stylized floral, scrolling, and geometric motifs. The repetitive small circular or star patterns suggest the traditional Burmese aesthetic known for its horror vacui (fear of empty space). The overall effect is one of continuous, rhythmic decoration.The box is fitted with a tightly fitting cover and is notable for its interior construction, which reveals several nested trays.
This compartmentalization confirms its purpose for Betel Quid Preparation Storing the ingredients necessary for preparing the betel quid (areca nut, lime paste, leaves), which requires separate compartments. Storing Temple Offerings (if used as a Hsun-ok derivative) Holding different types of food or small offerings.
Burmese lacquerware from the 19th century is highly regarded for its mastery of the thayo technique, centered in regions like Bagan. Such pieces were essential luxury goods, marking the social status of the owner and highlighting the enduring artistic traditions of the region.

European private collection


The bamboo structure is sound. The lacquer retains a good sheen, with minor surface scratches and minor loss or wear to the fragile thayo pigment in the engraved lines, consistent with its 19th-century age and use.
