Aberiso decorating
Abstract
Aberiso is at the stage of finishing the interior of the clay vessel she is modelling. With one hand, she delicately supports the vessel, while with the other she scrapes its interior while the clay is still soft. The vessel bears decoration consisting of twisted cord impressions on the outer wall, leaving small diagonally aligned grooves. Near the rim of the vessel, zigzag incisions can also be observed.
