Clay, a natural resource, could be made into various products. A lump of wet clay, shaped  into a pot by a potter’s precision skills. It is an ancient skill used by our ancestors to make cooking ware or pots for ceremonial purposes. Traces of pots shreds were found at the Niah Great Cave, Miri. Nowadays, pots are mainly used as decorative items. These pots symbolize status and carry cultural value in certain ethnic groups.
