Shaping the rim of a pot to steme sticky rice in Buôn Trấp village

H’Lân Êban has created a troncated cone by coiling and smoothed the outside with a bamboo tool. She now places a cloth on the edge of the pot, holding it with her left hand on the inside and her right hand on the outside. She presses her fingers on the outside about 3 cm under the rim to create the shoulder of the pot, still walking around the object. She let her hand slides around the edge to make it smooth and regular. Then, she slowly moves her fingers to enlarge the opening. In the background, Loan Bkrong goes through the similar process but for a cooking pot.
