July 01 20132013-07-01Four men sit on a white cloth on sandy ground beside a blue corrugated metal container, working on metal sheets and pieces of gold-coloured foil scattered across the cloth. The man on the far right in a white shirt and checked lungi holds a thin gold strip, while the man in a plaid shirt and green trousers leans forward over the work. A shirtless man in a dark tank top sits in the centre, and an older man in a light shirt and maroon cloth sits at the left edge with his back to the camera. Beside them a red wooden cart wheel and a painted cart panel with Tamil lettering are visible under a blue tarp, with a green tree and a brick wall behind. No a person candidate is visible.2013-06-26Two 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.2009-12-13Three young men sit on a white cloth on dirt ground, working on brass plates by hand with hammers and chisels.
