🪵 Pottery – A Living Tradition of the Jaffna Peninsula 🏺
Pottery is one of the oldest crafts in the Jaffna Peninsula, passed down through generations as a symbol of creativity, utility, and cultural identity. Even today, in some parts of Northern Sri Lanka, traditional potters continue to shape clay into beautiful, functional pieces using the age-old potter's wheel.
