"Oebots" are clay pots for kids, little replicas of kitchen wares in Myanmar.
Clay toys are also available at Oebot shops usually displayed at the festivals such as pagoda festivals.
Taungpyone is the most famous festival praising the spirits, Nat. Alongside with Taungpyone festival, Oebot festival is organized in Aungmyaythazan Township in Mandalay Region.
The festival has the history dated back many years ago.
"We are selling locally-made Oebots and glaze wares here as a stop on our trip to Taungpyone. It is selling good. It is a tradition that one in five buyers take one extra," said Ma Hla Myint from Myinmu Township who displays an Oebot shop in the festival, according to the state-run Myanma Alinn.
There is no ordinary deal between buyers and sellers like "Buy five and take one free", but Oebot buyers found themselves happy to successful steal one more toy from the shop.
The deal is that the shopkeepers know that their customers are stealing but let them go on knowingly to multiply the fun in the festival period. The deal is so solid that no agreement arises from it.
