Metalware

In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian talks about three metal pots from our collection that had a very unique purpose. These metal pots were used to collect mud and clay from the bottom of riverbeds. Much like the modern-day skin care routines of today, clay has been used for centuries to nourish our skin and hair.
