Yo Khoanh assesses the quality of the clay in a new sector of the river bank near Yang Tao village

While going to the clay source, Yo Khoanh noticed some clay on the path and decided to try digging on the bank nearby to see if the clay was good. She is here assessing the quality of the clay that she dug out with her "p’al", a stick with a metallic pike in one end. It is hard to understand what they mean by “good clay”, as they say that they recognise it from their experience
