✨ An antique object full of meaning

In Burmese tradition, the duck is a messenger from peaceful realms and a guardian of spiritual lineages. Its belly houses powerful relics: the Look Geow marble focuses protection, while the multicolored Sarira amplifies purity and good fortune.

💛 Unique piece

Each ancient reliquary has its own story, its own marks of time, and its own sacred patina. No other example is identical. The one offered here comes from a private collection and originates from the Chiang Rai region.

🔮 Mystique

It is said that when the sacred duck closes its belly over relics, it watches over them like a mother over her young. It stabilizes wandering energies, invites ancestral blessings, and transforms the space into a place conducive to meditation and good fortune. This reliquary carries the serenity of Myanmar's temples and the quiet echo of all the prayers that have filled its history.
