Bowl shaped pot made of refined ant hill clay. The clay is pressed with fingers and modelled. When it is ready, coconut refuse and leaves are burnt in it to make the pot hard and ready for use. It is normally made by craftswomen who know how to make the pots. It is used by women for cooking bananas, fish and rice.
