Phoza (ཕོ་རྫ་) refers to “male burl” classification of the different types of zachye burl.—Based on accounts shared by Lam Kesang Chophel, the Secretary General for Bhutan’s Agency for Promotion of Indigenous Crafts, the Bhutanese traditional elders classify zachye burl into different types. Beside judging the quality of the burl based on the host tree, they are also commonly rated according to the types of patterns. [...] All these patterns are further divided into the phoza (ཕོ་རྫ་) or male burl and moza (མོ་རྫ་) female burl depending on the intricacy and finesse of the patterns. Bold and larger patterns are considered male and fine subtle ones are considered female.
