Preparing the mixture for post-firing process in Kon Tơ Xing village : soaking bark 1/2

Y Gah has gathered bark from a tree called tơnung. She has cut off the hard part of the bark to keep only the tender part of the tree. Now, she smashes it with the end handle of the knife called "tơgăk" to open the vessels and take out the sap. Then, she cuts the bark into pieces and it soak in a bowl with water. This mixture will be splashed on the pot right out of the fire to give them their black colour.
