Shan Silver Burmese Betel Box

Description

An antique Shan silver betel box from Burma (Myanmar), handcrafted using traditional silversmithing techniques and richly decorated with finely executed repoussé and chased ornamentation.

The domed lid is embellished with concentric raised motifs, while the body is decorated with finely detailed geometric and floral borders, demonstrating the refined craftsmanship characteristic of traditional Shan silverwork. The harmonious proportions and elegant decoration make this piece both historically significant and visually striking.

The box consists of two matching parts—a fitted lid and base—and was traditionally used for storing betel and related ceremonial items. Its timeless design reflects the artistic heritage of the Shan people and the long-standing silverworking traditions of Burma.

The silver has been tested and confirmed. No visible maker’s or assay marks are present.

A fine example of traditional Shan silver craftsmanship, this piece would make an excellent addition to any collection of Asian silver, Burmese works of art, or ethnographic objects.

The dimensions are shown in the final photographs.
