Plate “Kush bodom”

The plate is titled “Kush bodom”. It was fired in a traditional pottery kiln – a humdon – at a temperature of 980–1000°C, which makes the piece resistant to both heat and cold. Traditional Gijduvan ceramics typically use eight different colors. The “Kush bodom” motif is one of the traditional patterns frequently used by Gijduvan potters. These designs are stylized forms inspired by animals, birds, plants, and flowers. Such motifs traditionally symbolize happiness, abundance, and peace.
