Preforming the rim in Yang Tao village : how to use a banana leaf

When clothes were not so common, the potters used a banana leaf to preform the rim of the pots. Mai Kim shows how to use a banana leaf instead of the cloth. In the background, LTS and CdF are talking with them about the topic : Banana leaf is called ‘hla ntay’ in ê dê language ; Ha dju in Mnong. Both clothes and banana leaf used to make pot are called ‘at dlah’. It is easier to make the rim with the banana leaf, but the cloth is faster.
