Yi Ethnic Lacquer Wares

The most outstanding lacquer wares in Shangri-la (former Zhongdian) area are wine vessels designed in the shapes of eagle claw, goose claw, horn and boar hoof. Patterns on lacquer wares include natural patterns, animals, plants, life scenes, production scenes, and cultural images, among which animals are the most dominating-and followed by plants. This can be why the Yi ethnic group underlines the animal husbandry in their life, since they had undergone a long nomadic history, settled down and finally survived on farming.
