Aberiso shaping pottery
Abstract
Aberiso is modelling a vessel made of clay tempered with crushed shell. In the photograph, she holds a clay coil with one hand and uses it as a guide to fix the coil onto the body of the vessel. With the other hand, Aberiso presses the coil carefully onto the body, shaping the vessel into a globular form.
