The finished products.

We visited this polychroming, gilding and lacquering workshop in Artisans Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The artists obtained their skills through apprenticeship provided by Artisans Angkor. The finished products are impressive and are on sale at the shop in the Artisans Angkor complex. The place is an tourist attraction and most tour groups are given a tour of the complex with many workshops before they are shown to the shop where the finished products are on sale.
