Rajasthani crafts have emerged not as a decorative feature, but as an essential part of people's lives. They took their utensils and gave them shapes and forms that were pleasing to the eye; they decorate their clothes so that, in the dull surroundings of the desert, they could lend color to its barrenness. They wore jewelry and embroidered shoes; they made paintings to honor their gods and records historic events; they decorate their damascened swords with precious stones and wore amulets of gold to war. In it all, there was an air of insouciance: we live, therefore we must do with zest.

Here, potter use the clay at their command to create not just pots but also the object of art such as warriors mounted on horses, elephants and their mahouts and so on. They are tribute to the artist in Rajasthan who is able to fire clay not just with its skill but also with his imagination and creativity.
