Not specifically documented under a standardized Mangoro-language term in available sources
The hand-building of decorative and functional terracotta pottery by Mangoro women of Katiola, in the Bandama Valley region of north-central Côte d'Ivoire, producing vases, jars, and jewelry boxes. Katiola's tradition sits within a wider documented cluster of distinct central Ivorian pottery centers, each with its own specific material and decorative signature: at Tanou Sakassou near Bouaké, roughly 300 potters produce black earthenware inlaid with delicate silica flakes alongside figural vases with sculpted human forms, bird-motif gargoulette water jugs, and kedjenou cooking pots; at Motiamo near Bondoukou, artisans work specifically with black and red clay sourced from nearby villages. Pottery remains one of the Ivory Coast's most vital traditional crafts, with artisans consistently decorating both functional and decorative pieces with established traditional motifs.
