The “Villa
Abbas Coop.” manages with intense delight the handicraft
workroom near the Archaeological Museum.
The skilful craftmen follow the old tradition of ceramics
manufacturing. They also make appreciable copies of the ancient
pottery of the Medio Campidano.
The workroom produces hand-works
with the typical features of the “Cult of waters”, which characterized
all the Medio Campidano’s culture, expecially the territory
of Sardara in pre-nuragic and nuragic time.
The hand-works are ornated with small circles, breast-shape
decorations and zigzag lines. The visitors can commission
and buy nuragic and medieval amphoras, vases and oil lamps
in Museum’s Shop or contacting with “Villa
Abbas Coop.”
Villa
