The most distinctive handicraft offering vessel from Bagan is
a rice bowl on a stem with a spired lid called “Shun ok”. Shun ok is a large
stupa (top of a temple) shaped vessel used for presenting food to a Buddhist
monastery and in the past, to members of the royal family. It is beautifully
lacquered in the traditional orange lacquer made using the pigment from
cinnabar and decorated throughout in a motif known in Burmese as ku-nan-kan-byat.
The hsun-ok comprises a wide curved bowl set on a waisted
pedestal flaring out to a circular foot-ring. The lid tapers to an elegant
spire, which is relieved at intervals by graceful bulbous mouldings which
reduce in size with ascent. Rice, fruit and other foods were placed in the
bowl. The base form was crafted from woven bamboo which was then treated with
several layers of lacquer and decorated with popular motifs. Traditionally,
hsun-ok were carried proudly upon the heads of Burmese women to the temple as
an act of merit.
