content: Edited film: a group of Azera men are occupied in the production of clay pots using clay already prepared by the women. The bowl-like vessels are begun with the coiling method but are finished with the chasing technique. Once completed, the pots are scratched with ornamentation, handles are affixed, and the pots are fired.
