How this piece is made

The Amaru family builds it by hand at their workshop in Raqchi with the coiling technique: the clay is joined in rings, smoothed, painted with natural pigments and fired in a kiln. It is the technique of Inca pottery, and its knowledge and practices in Raqchi are recognized as Cultural Heritage of the Nation by Peru's Ministry of Culture.
