The glossy, black labu sayong is a State icon for Perak. Instantly recognisable, labu sayong takes days of handwork in forming, firing, drying and engraving. The gourd-shaped jars made of fine clay are carbonised using hot rice husk to give them that black gloss. For authentic labu sayong, go to Kampong Sayong, located in the backwater of Kota Lama Kiri near Kuala Kangsar.
