POTTERY TRADITION OF LÜRURI: The pottery tradition of Lüruri village of Pochury Nagas is a hereditary craft tradition passed down from mother to daughter dating back to ancient times. How the craft came into this possession remains obscure but the craft tradition has been historically associated with Lüruri from the distant past not withstanding its fragile status today. The introduction of substitutes in metal, enamel and plastics, have been largely held responsible to its plight. However, the women of Lüruri are presently taking measures at stemming the craft from sinking into oblivion. A renewed appreciation and demand for Lüruri pottery is empowering womenfolk once again to be mistresses of their earth stories.
