A male potter in Kom Oshim village, Fayoum, lifts and positions a large unfired clay jar inside a traditional kiln workshop surrounded by finished and unfinished pottery pieces stacked along brick walls. Kom Oshim is one of Egypt's most recognized pottery-producing villages, where artisans shape raw clay by hand and on the potter's wheel before sun-drying and kiln-firing the pieces. The craft has been passed down through generations and remains an active part of the village's cultural and economic identity.
