EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Carved Figure from Mandalay, Myanmar (formerly Burma), in South East Asia. Created around 1900, this exquisite wooden figure was specifically crafted for the European market and is adorned with an array of intricate details. The artist skillfully embellished the figure with sequins, inlaid glass, and gilt relief lacquer known as Hman Si Shwe Cha.

The ornate ponytail adds another layer of cultural significance to this masterpiece. The craftsmanship displayed here reflects the rich Burmese culture that has been celebrated for centuries.
