Antiques


Most of the Yao People observe the Taoist religion, in which the role of priests as intermediaries to the spirit world is very important. Thus, a collection of special objects, including proper garments, is required by priests to perform the necessary rituals. As sacred objects, they were made by highly skilled artisans with the highest aesthetics and craftsmanship. These items are hard to find, and some are rare, so please contact me if you want to be informed of new finds or need more information.

(For more detailed information, please see Pourret, Jess; The Yao; River Books 2002; Chapter 6)
