| Qahatika handicraft shows considerable skill,
particularly in pottery, many forms of which are made. All household
utensils are of their own manufacture, besides which many small
pieces are made for barter. Some examples are evidently copies
of commercial ware, but many show true primitive feeling in
form as well as in decoration. These Indians model, polish the
ware, burn it to its rich red colors, then decorate and reburn
it. |
