Subject:Martaban
Posted By: Faizal Shariff Fri, May 15, 2020 IP: 2001:d08:d1:713b:9d5
This old martaban jar emitted a strange orb like fireball right in front of me.. the orb went to the lightbulb and blew it .. if left on its own it has a humming like sound .. it also has a button like thing beneath it.. can’t figure out what era ..

I never encountered a Martaban jar exactly like yours during about two decades in various Asian garden spots. Here are some links to other information on Martabans that turned up in a query of the term in the forum search feature:
