Betel Nut Box ; Betel Habit and Betel Box

To appreciate Burmese lacquerware and to understand Burmese culture, some acquaintance with the betel habits is essential.

In the past every household had at least one cylindrical stowed between cheek and teeth and slowly savoured. Betel was offered and consumed by men and women in everyday social intercourse, and featured in every special occasion and in every ceremony. Betel has a role in courtship and was produce in courts of law to be consumed by litigants setting their differences. It also appeared in the reception of diplomatic envoys at the Royal Palace. Even a prisoner condemned to death was given betel before his execution.

The betel-chewing habit, universally enjoyed in Southeast Asia for many centuries, is now fast receding before the aggressively marketed cigarette, which looks more sophisticated and is certainly more addictive and injurious to health. Betel Chewing is not suited to the restless hurry of modern life; it is meant to be indulged “in a leisurely and relaxed manner” Betel eating or chewing; rather it is sucking a quid stowed in the side of the mouth and moved with the tongue now and then to be squeezed between the teeth.
