Across the Cambodian countryside, broad-shouldered peang (Khmer: ពាង) jars stand like silent guardians of everyday life. In the villages, near the houses, protected by a wooden cover, they wait for the first rains, ready to turn empty clay into an essential water reserve for rural families. Their rounded forms and weathered paint carry a quiet story of resilience, craftsmanship, and survival through the long dry season.
