From Nature the ground, the water and the heat were harnessed to build shelters and defence works. With terra sigilata and pigments small mugs and casseroles and tiles for the walls and for roof and eave were made. Burned ground was used for clay jug, olive oil jar or water drinking in a scented Estremoz contain-er. And small beautiful fine porcelain figures – or ugly as the devil in popular handicraft – have been pro-duced.
Between sacred and profane – prehistoric flutes, ornaments for godesses and warriors, lamentations in churches, oratories in crossroads and paths, micro-conducters in technology - it takes all sorts of things to make a world and an entire world to know its history and art.
