terracotta
Terracotta is a type of clay-based material that is fired at relatively low temperatures to produce a durable, porous ceramic. Known for its warm, earthy color, it has been used for thousands of years to make sculptures, pottery, tiles, and architectural elements. Its natural properties include good thermal insulation and breathability, making it suitable for both artistic and functional purposes. Terracotta's appearance and workability have made it a popular choice in art and construction, offering a blend of aesthetic appeal and practicality.
