Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityA photograph of a large grey plaster or clay deity figure lying on a concrete floor during fabrication. The sculpture shows a multi-armed deity with an ornate crown, a broad torso with chest ornaments and a sash, and raised hands holding objects. Its surface is pale and dusty, and a section of the frame is exposed beneath. Behind it, a man in a checked lungi crouches and works with a power tool. No visible person is posed for the camera; the only human figure is the worker at the back. The scene is an unfinished statue being made in a workshop.February 01 20152015-02-01Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityJuly 14 20132013-07-14October 05 20132013-10-05A photograph taken from above of an unfinished metal deity figure lying on a grey concrete floor.
