Ultra-realistic photograph, extra high resolution, 16:9. Fustat, Old Cairo, circa 1790, morning at the potters' quarter. Domed mud-brick kilns emitting smoke; rows of drying clay qulla water jars and cooking pots in the sun. A master potter at a kick wheel shapes a jar with wet hands; his son carries a board of fresh pots; a woman in a dark headwrap paints simple decorations; a donkey carries baskets of finished pots to market; a buyer in a turban inspects jars by tapping them. Minarets of Old Cairo and the Mosque of Amr in the hazy distance.
