Anepigraphy. Made by regular artisans, not famed artists.
Pluralism. Mass produced to meet the needs of the common people.
Economical. Priced such that it is readily available to all.
Labor-Intensive. Involves great proficiency due to repetitious labor.
Regional. Has local flavor, incorporating the region's lifestyle.
Division of Labor. Involvement of multiple people working together to produce numerous items.
Traditional. Carefully retains and builds upon the skill and knowledge of the forefather.
All Encompassing. Made not by one single individual's effort, but rather a result of an invisible force of culture,
local environment and tradition coming together.
