A male artisan works at a potter's wheel inside a stone-walled workshop in Kom Oshim village, Fayoum, Egypt, shaping raw clay into vessels by hand. The workshop interior features rough stone walls and natural light from a window, typical of traditional rural pottery workshops in the Fayoum region. Pottery in Kom Oshim is a generational craft; finished pieces are sun-dried then kiln-fired to achieve their final hardness.
