Sejnane pottery is built without a wheel, dried in the sun, fired in an open pit of cow dung and smoked with lentisk branches. The red-brown geometry is iron oxide painted on before firing.
UNESCO added the practice to its intangible heritage list in 2018. Every piece is signed on the base by the woman who made it.
