Abstract: "After
the
lord
Buddha
Parinibbāna
(pass away),
the
Buddhists
have
worshipped
with
devotion
(1)
Sarīrika
Cetiya
(Relics)
(2)
Dhamma
Cetiya
(Teachings)
(3)
Uddissa
Cetiya
(Images)
(4)
Paribhoga
Cetiya
(Bodhi
tree
and
utensils)
(5)
Pāda
Cetiya
(foot-‐prints
of
the
Buddha)
in
memory
of
the
Lord
Buddha.
Among
these
five
different
kinds
of
Cetiyas
where
there
are
images
of
the
Lord
Buddha
on
it,
are
called
as
Uddissa
Cetiya.
In
traditions,
the
Lord
Buddha
Images
are
made
of
gold,
silver,
copper,
iron,
stone,
wood
and
bamboo-strips.
Just
as
there
are
many
differences
with
the
materials
used
in
carving
sacred
images
there
are
also
differences
in
shape,
size
and
style.
One
image
different
from
another
in
gesture
(mudrā),
sitting
posture
(āsana)
and
sacred
throne
(pallaṅka).
A
wonderful
Hneephayargyi
made
of
bamboo-strips
exists
at
the
Myathabeit
foothill
in
Thaton,
Mon
state.
A
group
of
six
young
craftsmen
who
made
the
image
was
led
by
Sayar
Myint
Naing
Oo.
Unlike
other
images,
there
are
interesting
and
wonderful
features
in
the
creating
of
this
particular
Hneephayargyi.
Therefore,
this
monograph
on
the
brief
history
of
statues
and
images
and
the
creating
of
Hneephayargyi
are
compiled
and
presented
so
that
Buddhists
may
not
only
revere
and
strengthen
their
faith,
but
it
may
also,
be
of
partial
help
to
those
who
want
to
find
out
and
study
Buddhists
arts.
Key
words:
the
impressive
capability
of
the
Myanmar?s
handicraft."......Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-26 July 2015.

Description:
Betel-chewing has been a national habit in Myanmar for centuries. The great variety of betel receptacles have become a
significant source for cultural research . The old Mon and Myanmar inscriptions described betel and items necessary to
the eating of betel. The author has analyzed eighteen types of betel receptacles, some with insignias of one particular
class, and others of more general nature. The different types of betel receptacles like Kwam: ac, Kwam: up, and Kwam: khawk are made of different materials that reflect the wealth and status of the user. They range from split bamboo,to
silver and gold studded with precious stones.....Subject Terms: betel receptacles.....
Key Words: 1. Kwam: an (Insignia worn by wealthy men in the 17th and first half of the 18th century.]...
2. Kwam : ac...
3. Kwam : up (Insignia designed for royalty-- kings, princes sawbwas, and nobles.)...

lesser court officials, and lords of the villages.)...
5. Kwam : Khawk (Part of the insignia designating kings, princes, nobles and their wives and
consorts.)
