The outer surface of gold almoner is made of real gold. Lacquer not only makes it look shiny but also adds strength so that the thing lasts for longer time. The lacquerware is not only for its work, it also becomes a pretty and helpful art piece. The piece shows us how good Burmese crafting mixes beauty with things that are helpful in everyday life. Every design, passed down from one generation to the next in Myanmar shares a story of old traditions and culture. It also shows how craftwork has continued to exist.
