A man in a pink headwrap, grey-green t-shirt and blue checked lungi sits crouched while grinding or polishing a golden metal sculpture of a standing deity with raised hands. Behind the sculpture, a large round-based metal piece and wooden crates sit on a concrete floor in dappled shade, with other workers partly visible at the top edge. A tall metal cut-out panel with decorative pierced edges stands at the left. The scene shows metal finishing work on temple statuary.Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityApril 28 20152015-04-28A man in a white sleeveless vest stands behind a dark work table in a plain whitewashed room, holding up a small polished gold-coloured metal figure of a standing deity with a tall crown, a halo-like disc behind the head and raised arms holding objects. Around him on the table are rough brown clay or mud sculpture pieces, including a large clay figure with a curved trunk-like form, an elephant-headed or animal-headed form, and other unfinished limbs. An orange plastic bucket sits at left and a small fire or burning incense stick glows near the table's base. The scene shows an idol-making workshop with clay modelling and casting in progress.2013-06-24Making Of Sacred Arts UniversitySeptember 22 20092009-09-22 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20092009-09-22 +1 copiesNovember 29 20132013-11-29Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityTwo men sit barefoot on bare ground working on a metal sculpture. The man on the left wears a white shirt and light blue jeans and uses a chisel-like tool on the metal. The man on the right wears a teal-grey shirt, a mustard-yellow dhoti with yellow border, and a red thread on his wrist, holding a hammer. Behind them sit sacks, copper-coloured pots and other tools on the dusty ground. No deity form is clearly identifiable from this view.2009-12-13Making Of Sacred Arts University +1 copiesOctober 19 20132013-10-19
