What was the decoration of lacquerware in Shang Dynasty?

The decorative patterns on lacquerware in Shang Dynasty are mainly animal patterns and geometric patterns, such as gluttonous patterns, thunder patterns and banana leaf patterns. The paint colors are red and black. Generally painted with black paint, and various pigments can be mixed in the paint.

There are also inlay technology and gold foil pasting technology, that is, some objects are inlaid with round, square and triangular turquoise, and some objects are pasted with gold foil.

For example, in the decay trace of a lacquer box in Shang Dynasty, a semi-circular gold decorative piece was found, with traces of vermicelli engraved on the front and on the back, which may be the gold foil on the lacquer box, indicating that cloud gold foil was used for lacquer decoration as early as Shang Dynasty.
