    "...Myanmar, known as Burma, acquired its name after the military junta changed it in 2010, becoming the republic of the Union of Myanmar.
    His artistic heritage is very rich. Inspired by Buddhism, it spans more than 12 centuries.

    The material used for the sculptures is teak, a particularly hard wood. Myanmar holds about eighty percent of the world's teak reserves. It is said that it took at least six long years of learning to properly master woodcarving. To work, the sculptors were in a squatting position, feet flat and this for hours.

    Burmese sculptors transmit the art of mastered, complex and ultra-neat work, the symbols and the marvelous meticulousness that each piece offers..."
