Y Gah is preforming the lid of the cooking pot by pinching the edges of the lump of clay to enlarge the opening. She leaves the lower part of the lump untouched. It will be shaped later on to form the foot of the lid. This object, called Klơ đơ̆p, will not only be the lid of the cooking pot. It is also a bowl to present food or to eat.
