⁹ Sir George Birdwood, after an illuminating and a detailed description of the Indian village Potter, says in conclusion: “…and there, at his daily work, has sat the hereditary village potter amid all these shocks and changes, steadfast and unchangeable for 3000 years, Macedonian, Mongal, Maratha, Portuguese, English, French, and Dane of no more account to him than the broken pot shreds lying round his wheel.”—Industrial Arts of India, quoted by A. K. Coomaraswamy, The Indian Craftsman; p, 100.
