This photograph shows traditional terracotta pots made by artisans of the Nayak tribe in Andhra Pradesh, neatly stacked together. These pots are recognized for their rounded structure and wide body. The natural reddish-orange color appears after firing in a kiln, while black patches on some pots indicate the traditional open-firing technique using dry grass and wood. Such pots are commonly used for water storage and daily household purposes.
