Abstract

Inabure seated on the ground, manually applying liquid red pigment onto the external surface of an unfired ceramic vessel. She uses her fingers to coat the piece evenly. On her left side there is a container with the pigment solution, and on the right another vessel already painted can be seen, which will proceed to the smoking stage and subsequently to the firing stage.
