Post-firing process of the cooking pot in Kon Tơ Xing village

Y Gah takes the cooking pot, called gŏ, out of the fire, using a stick. She has prepared before hand a mixture of tree-bark, from a tree called tơnung, soaked in water. She now takes a piece of bark out of the mixture and splashes the mixture on the pot. This gives it a permanent black colour, that is not completely homogeneous : the splashs of died water can still be seen. When she is done, she puts the pot back in the fire, until the fire dies out.
