Pottery is made from a mixture of different clays and sands which have been ground.

The shaping is made in lump or coil technique or both techniques are applied for the same vessels. Parts of the vessel, the foot or handles are shaped separately and then fixed on the main body. While shaping, the potter frequently rubs his hands with sand to keep them dry and uses as implements pieces of bamboo or gourd. Polishing, scraping and smoothening the surface of half dry vessels is done with stones, broken pieces of pottery or rugs. Simple ornamentation is modelled or incised with a pointed wooden stick. When the pots are considered sufficiently dry, firing in an open pit is applied.
