A potter worker moulds pottery on a spinning wheel in his factory in the town of Nahrawan near Baghdad, Iraq May 7, 2023.  Pottery has deep roots in Iraq’s ancient civilisations, clay was used to build homes, shape cooking pots, and clay pots were used to grass plants and Iraqis still use pottery, such as a large clay-made bowl, to keep water cool, especially in areas where there is no electricity or water.
