Preforming on leather hard clay phase 2 in Krăngọ village : thinning the wall of the cooking pot (góh dam)

Before starting the preforming, Ma Ly polishes the surface of the pot using a kernel (plai kang). The polishing creates horizontal lines on the surface. She also uses seashells to imprint decorations on the pot. When the outside of the pot is finished, she uses a large ring made of metal called a kơnur, to scrape the inside of the pot. With her left hand, she supports the outside and feels the thickness of the walls so that she knows where to stop. During the whole process, BBN and CdF interview Ma Ly about the process of making pots. The information from the interview are all summarised in the summary document for Krăngọ village .<p></p>
