The potter uses a flat stick for patting to shape. The tools used for patting are: mallet (tala) to smoothen the surface both inside out. As patting process continues water is frequently applied to the work by dipping the blade of the tool into a basin of water and rubbing the surface of the stone which is held as a counterpoise inside the pot with the blade. Water is occasionally sprinkled upon the pot itself, this prevents the tools from sticking to the clay.
