As for the third chapter, it included the research procedures, which are the research community, the research sample, and the sample analysis of the researcher’s work, which numbered 4 works. As for the fourth chapter, it included the results, including (diversity in the mechanisms of display, so we see a diversity in ceramic vocabulary, including geometric shapes In the sample (3), including dolls, as in the sample (1), including a ceramic form, as in the sample (4)) and the conclusions, including (taking advantage of the diversity obtained in the African word, which gave a clear difference in all samples) and then the recommendations, including (using clay with resistance to heat directly in the production of African ceramic works) and finally the proposals, including (the employment of the single African motifs in contemporary ceramic work)
