Sgraffito is a recent addition to the repertoire of the Hermannsburg Potters and has been adapted to much success. Here, incisions into the white slip contrast against the terracotta base to create a strong visual effect through which the artists convey their story. Here, Clara shows the old Ntaria (Hermannsburg) garage, where her uncle worked. The scene is completed by the white stone-built buildings and date palms which make up the old mission headquarters, now known as the Hermannsburg Historical Precinct.
