Inabure firing
Abstract
The image shows the fumança stage (dry straw firing). Some vessels are already covered by burning straw and leaves, releasing intense white smoke. In the foreground, a bundle of straw yet to be used can be seen. On the right, on the ground, a group of red-pigmented ceramic vessels awaits its turn to be exposed to fire and smoke.
