The ghurra depicts often scenes from daily life or can have beautiful abstract messages. Sometimes they are anthropomorphic, or phallic. Very often they obtain beautiful wear and patina, because of their intensive use. The huge variety and affordability of these objects, makes them an interesting collecting subject.
