With 216 colour and 21 black and white illustrtions. First published in Thailand in 2000 by River Books Co. Ltd. Softbound, 240 pages. From the back cover: "Lacquer is one of the most important artisitic traditions of Burma - and also a living art. Frequently used to decorate vessels of great style and variety, it is also important in the embellishment of architecture, furniture and musical instruments, in the making of sculpture and even in the Burmese theatre. ... Unril now, Burmese art generally - let alone this important branch - has been little studied. This beautifully illustrated book features some 200 items which demonstrate the skill of the Burmese lacquer-craftsman. Many of these come from a recent gift to the British Museum, the Ruth and Ralph Isaacs Collections, while others are from national, regional and private collections."
