In a typical village scene, you're likely to see ox carts delivering clay and other materials to the various workshops. The clay is thrown on a kick wheel to form the shape, then painted using mineral oxides. In the next step, the pieces are carved, sgraffito style, using homemade tools typically fashioned from the spokes of a bicycle wheel. Once the carving is complete, the objects are baked in a wood-burning kiln constructed from adobe bricks. Polishing adds luster and completes the creative process. The final product is a uniquely lovely object, the result of many hours of loving labor at the hands of gifted artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mundo Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41281164902449,"sku":"ssi1792583917164","price":51.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/8573\/6497\/files\/nicaraguan-pottery-8-inch-pledge-pot-with-bird-motif_1.jpg?v=1792583923","url":"https:\/\/xpsats-7g.myshopify.com\/products\/nicaraguan-pottery-8-inch-pledge-pot-with-bird-motif","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
