Inside a farmyard cow dung is collected, kneaded and worked into a spherical shape. The mass, placed over the top of an inverted clay jug surfaced with ash, is given an even thickness and smoothed out by hand. After drying for several days this rudimentary vessel is removed from its mould and enlarged by the addition of wads. Finally, the rim is decorated in a simple manner.
