It has been archaeologically proven that the representatives of the clan nobility of Sayan-Altai tribes used lacquer products in everyday life as early as in the Scythian period. In later complexes, lacquer objects, as well as objects coated with lacquer, have been found in Tuva, South Siberia and Transbaikalia. Regardless of whether they were exquisite lacquer cups and highly artistic caskets from elite Xiongnu burials, or lacquered utility items from medieval graves, lacquer products have always had a status value. At the same time, of interest is not only the attitude of representatives of various cultural traditions to such objects, but also the following question: has the lacquer coating application technology and its composition changed over time? The search for an answer has resulted in a study of the lacquer’s composition in the process of restoring the lacquer coating of a chariot and lacquered saddle dating back to different historical periods. In order to identify the organic components of the lacquer coating layers, the pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (THM-PY- GC/MS) method was applied, allowing to detect the presence of Urushi lacquer. The technological features of the manufacture of different objects were examined during a study of cross-sections using a polarized light microscope (PLM) and a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive sensor (SEM-EDS).
