The Front Door
Art in the form of petroglyphs decorated the outside wall on either side of the front door. Overhead a sign read, "Ceramica."

A Shovel
Just inside the front door was a shovel without a handle next to a plastic bag ready for clay.

The Shop
Pottery for sale was on display on shelves. There were these shelves, and two other sets of shelves on other walls. Thus the room was surrounded by pottery for sale.

The Pottery
The pottery was arranged almost at random. Different styles placed together on a shelf. To find a set, one had to wander the shop to find matching pieces. At the bottom-left was a ceramic turtle.

Two Openings
Some pottery, such as this blue one, had more than one opening.

Bird Whistles
These bird whistles were just two of the many for sale. Blowing loosely so wind passed under the tail, causes the bird to whistle. Holes on either side of the body allowed the tone to be changed.
