Cinnabar lacquer art carving dates back over two millennia in China. The lacquer itself comes from a native Chinese tree sap. It is tapped much like that from a rubber tree. Mineral pigments such as cinnabar or iron oxide are added to the lacquer for the dark red color. Over a hundred coats of the lacquer can be needed to get the necessary thickness for carving. This is over a solid base body of copper or wood. Because each coat must dry before the next is applied, the painstaking process takes many months to complete a single piece.
