People of the Dai ethnic group in southwest China's Yunnan Province are able to turn pieces of fruit into delicate #artworks with their #carving skills.
Fruit carving, which is a traditional #craft of the Dai ethnic group, will normally appear in Buddhist rituals and funeral, and was listed as a provincial-level intangible #culturalheritage in 2017.
The carving designs adopted for the handicraft often include flowers, leaves and birds. Since its carved-out patterns resemble those of paper-cutting, the artifact has also been dubbed as "the three-dimensional paper-cutting of the Dai ethnic group in multivarious colors."
