*Mexican lacquerware is one of the country's oldest crafts, having independent origins from Asian lacquerware. The olinalá (Spanish pronunciation: [olina'la]) is a lacquering technique native to Olinalá, Guerrero, Mexico. To make objects with olinalá, the aromatic wood extracted from the linaloe tree (Bursera linanoe) is highly appreciated. It grows naturally in the region
