Fatu shaping pottery
Abstract
Fatu, seated on the ground with her legs stretched out, holds the body of the modelled vessel with one hand. With the other hand, she uses a wooden stick to smooth the rim, flattening the vessel’s lip. Beside her are some of the tools used during the making of this vessel: a katana blade, a ceramic container with water, and other wooden sticks. In front of her lies a finished vessel, ready for firing.
