content: HEAVY GLAZED EARTHENWARE BOWLS & POTS OF VARIOUS SIZES MADE IN JAMAICA ARE KNOWN AS "YABBAS". THE WORD IS APPARENTLY DERIVED FROM THE TWI WORD "AYAWA" FOR EARTHENWARE VESSEL OR DISH. USED BOTH FOR COOKING AND SERVING FOOD, THE BLACKENED UNDERSIDE OF THIS SPECIMEN SUGGESTS ITS USE FOR COOKING.
