Description
terracotta / ceramic, rest.
The pottery is covered with red or white slip before burnishing with a pebble or shell. After open firing, the piece is painted with geometric patterns and motifs, sealed by heating.
Amazigh people are the descendants of the indigenous inhabitants of northern Africa. Their beautiful vessels were and still are made exclusively by women.
Historically pot making took place during the dry season in relation to agricultural tasks. Each woman made only what she needed for her own household use. Selling pottery was an admission of poverty but accepted as a modest source of income for widows.
