Polishing pottery in Yang Tao village

Mai Khanh and Yo Khoanh are polishing their objects with small stones in the courtyard. Mai Khanh, who mostly make pottery for tourists has polished a plate (at her feet) and is polishing a figurine of a cow with a small stone. This is the third and last polishing for this object, as we can see that it is already dried (colour is lighter than the other items). On the other hand, Yo Khoanh is polishing the cover for the small cooking pots (at her feet). We can see that she makes mostly traditional products. This is her first polishing. The action of polishing is called “ɲoh”.
