Lacquerware is a local handicraft in Bagan. 
This jar shows each step in making lacquerware
The best ones go up to 40 layers! 
In the shop we went to, the 24 layered ones are in an airconditioned room 
and the 12 layers has no aircon 🙂 but it’s still good quality
The good quality ones are made with bamboo, teak wood or horsetail ( being the most expensive)

Typical Myanmar snacks/ pica pica for guests. Peanuts is one of their agricultural products from Bagan
Yum Tamarind Flakes – similar to haw flakes. You can buy these in the stalls of shops in the different temples
We went to another store for lacquerware. Mom read about this and it is a popular shop for lacquerware in Bagan
