Pottery Among the Highland People of Western China
Using traditional methods, thoroughly documented here, the Dai and Wa potters of
a rural area bordering Thailand
and Burma (Myanmar) are shown making a variety
of vessels for cooking, for water storage, and for
ritual use. This set has
relevance for art history and fine arts students,
as well as anthropologists and
archaeologists.
By William A. Longacre and Yungti Li.
