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.
