    DescriptionThe Yoruba potter begins by paddling the bottom of the pot over a mold. After the bottom half is removed from the mold and dried briefly in the sun, she completes the pot by adding a thick coil of clay, forming it into shape walking backward as she works. The Yoruba are known for the rich variety of their surface embellishments.

    There are no works to discover for this record.
