In this Friday, Feb. 10, 2017 photo, Nepalese Prajapati potters take a break in between making clay pots in the ancient Nepali town of Thimi. For generations, the residents of Thimi supplied the rest of the Himalayan country everything from tiny clay lamps used in temples to massive grain storage jars. As more young people leave town for better paying jobs in other parts of Nepal or abroad, fewer families have to eke out an income from the relatively low-returns business of clay pottery. Of the nearly 2,000 Prajapati families in town, less than 300 families now depend on clay pottery for a living. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)
