There is an age old relation between the clay and man. The simplest medium easily available has been the soft clay. Clay well kneaded with a proportioned amount of water is easily malleable. From times immemorial man has used this medium to express himself. Clay when baked takes a new form, called the terracotta. The terracotta in India has had a long history. Terracotta figures are shaped in all forms, in the round and in relief illustrating a variety of themes. The potter who used to make terracottas held an important position in society. Almost in every mohalla there was a terracotta centre. In olden days the potter served some particular homes only and he used to make waterpots, milkpots, vessels for cooking food and in return he received grains and money. Even now in the far flung areas of Kashmir, this tradition continues.
