Summary

The book documents the procedures and techniques of pottery practiced in the native Wayku (Quechua native) community and reveals the importance of this cultural expression for the inhabitants of this town, located in the province of Lamas, in San Martin. The original Wayku jars, used to ferment chicha or save water, as well as cooking pots or kallanas to serve food, maintain a traditional use that has lasted for centuries. These containers are not only repositories of cold cuts but repositories of customs and experiences of the inhabitants who use them.
