content: Edited film: a potter in South Yemen forms a vessel from a ball and a roll of previously prepared clay. The bottom of the container is formed out of the ball, the sides from the roll. The potter then adds the handle, which he has made out of a second roll; he pierces the opposite side with his finger to provide the vessel with a spout. A day later he adds the finishing touches and paints the container with red-earth color.
