The
most ancient art form of mankind is flint figurines. This art appeared before
the casting of art forms in stone, wood, ivory, metal, etc., These fling
figures don't require greater technology or better tools to make them. The
fingers are the tool. Sangam man curved the tools he used to hunt for food in
stone. He then painted his thoughts as paintings on rocks. Then he made figures
out of clay.
1. Process of Sangam Period
Clay
or silt and water are added to make a beautiful figure. Then, it is put in a
kiln at suitable temperature and later the shape is hardened. Using this
method, red, saffron and orange flint objects, tiles, bricks, flowerpots and
beads were made.
Proof
1.
Before 2000 BC, the Sumerians wrote down their historical records in cuniform
on cylindrical flint objects.
2.
13 human figurines, 3 animal figurines, more than 600 toys, 28 types of ear
rings and beads have been found in flint at Kizhadi excavations.
2. Present Method
Flint
beads are made in the following steps:
Step-1:
Required amount of clay is taken and it is mixed with little water.
Step-2:
For making beads, a small ball of clay is taken and it is placed on the bottom
of the palm and it is rolled. This will bring the correct round shape.
Step-3:
With a toothpick or with an individual stick from the broomstick a hole is made
in the middle. That is, the stick should be moved up and down without pressing.
By doing like this, the hole of the bead should be made perfect.
Step-4:
In this way, beads can be made in required shapes like round, cylindrical,
etc., They should be dried for the whole day.
Step-5:
Then, the dried beads are kept in the kiln and baked for hardening the images.
