August 17 20142014-08-17Outdoor photo looking up at a crossed pair of wooden poles and ropes from which several painted terracotta pots hang, each wrapped in white cloth and decorated with blue, green, red and yellow painted shapes. Pale overcast sky and a palm frond at the lower left edge. No people are visible. The pots resemble the hanging clay pots used in Holi-season celebrations, though the scene itself shows only the suspended pots.2008-03-22A photograph of a hanging stack of three terracotta pots decorated with yellow and maroon painted dots, bound together with green satin ribbons. Cotton wool sits at the top, and a small bell wrapped in pink foil hangs from the bottom on wire. The background is blurred bare branches against a pale sky. No people or a person appear in the image.2009-12-26A photograph of a rope and pulley hanging from a rusty red metal frame against a pale grey-white sky. A small bundle of white and orange cloth with a dark band is tied to the rope end, and a short rope loop hangs beside it.
