  pyit taing daung

 

Myanmar

Pyit taing daung, that is the Myanmar egg-shaped knock-about dolls made of papier-mâché, are found all over the country.

 

They come in different sizes and seem to be a sought after item from many a shop near or surrounding Buddhist temples, conceivably because of their supposed luck factor. They are often sold next to zee kwet dolls (fig.).
