Traditional lacquer works created for centuries!😮 . The village of Temalacatzingo in the state of Guererro, where the local craft is lacquer work on gourds and a variety of carved wood figures, is so remote that the conquistadors and Dominicans never found it, and the descendants are mostly pure Nahual Indians. They have been creating lacquer work for centuries, long before Chinese lacquer began to appear in New Spain in the 16th Century via the Manila galleons. . They grow the gourds, an art in itself; dry them; carve the lids; clean them; and apply many layers of hand-ground mineral powders and home-grown chia oil, burnishing each layer for a final brilliant shine. . Every purchase helps to support a hard-working, creative family of artists and to keep alive a rich aspect of Mexican culture and history. .
