Terra cotta color of soil recycled into pots by hands stained rust. Utilitarian, hand-made vessels skills passed down by families through generations.

Out of land pots rise bake under sun’s heat to store life’s sustenance spices, grains.

Clay vessels contain life’s bounty supplied by Earth Mother for her children.
