Several researches have been conducted on the pottery of that region but the present research has specifically focused on the modification of motifs and color schemes of the pottery of Gandi Umar Khan. More than 800 designs complete or incomplete, found on the pottery has been categorized according to their motifs. Six categories are made to accommodate all type of motifs; these categories are geometrical, floral, faunal, anthropomorphic, miscellaneous, structural and plain. The main categories are further divided into sub categories for detailed analysis. The geometrical motifs are further divided into simple and complex designs. The simple geometrical design includes vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines, circular, loop, dot and wavy pattern. The complex geometrical design includes mixed, intersecting circles, net, triangle, chevron and step pattern. The second category of floral design is further divided into simple floral, hatched floral and leave pattern. The third category of faunal motifs includes horn, bird, goat and fish scale styles. In the fifth category the anthropomorphic designs include human face and eye motif in few designs. There are some designs which are not included in any category so these miscellaneous designs are heart, radiating sun and basket weave motifs. Another very important category of designs are based on structural motifs. These designs are basically made during the process when the vessels are still moist, these designs are grouped according to their style e.g grooved, impressed, perforated, roughened, undulating, slurry and textured.
