June 22 20132013-06-22Four men sit on a floor in a workshop crafting silver or metal relief panels with hand chisels and tools. Two men on the left and centre work on pieces resting on a wooden board and cloth; the man on the right in a striped shirt and orange lungi works on ornate silver-toned relief figures. Scattered metal tools lie on the floor, and a green industrial machine stands behind them against a white tiled wall.2013-06-25July 14 20132013-07-14July 14 20132013-07-14Three young men sit on a white cloth on dirt ground, working on brass plates by hand with hammers and chisels. The seated man on the left wears a yellow sleeveless top and a purple patterned lungi. The man in the centre wears a red top and dark brown cloth. The man on the right, bare-chested, wears an orange lungi and bends over a large embossed brass plate with a chisel. Tools, a small pile of chisels and scattered brass plates lie around them. Behind is a corrugated metal wall, a red door and other workers. This is a photo of metalwork craftsmen; no visible a person candidate.2013-06-27July 01 20132013-07-01November 29 20132013-11-29Photograph of four men seated on a concrete floor in a simple thatched workshop doing hand metalwork on small copper-coloured vessels and bowls. The man at left in a pink checked shirt and white dhoti works on a pink vessel with a tool; a shirtless man in blue checked lungi strikes a piece with a hammer; at right a man in a black shirt and checked lungi tools a rounded pot; and a man in a yellow striped shirt and checked lungi chisels a flat metal plate on a mat. Tools, metal rods, cloth bags, a red chair and a wooden bench surround them.2006-12-10 +1 copiesA photograph of a shirtless man crouched on a concrete floor in a cluttered workshop, working on a silver repoussé panel with a chisel and hammer. He wears maroon cloth around his waist and a red thread on his wrist. Around him lie metal punches, a hammer, tools and sheets of paper with drawn floral designs, and the ornate silver-coloured panels show scrolled foliage patterns. Sacks, a cloth and kitchen vessels are visible in the background.2013-06-28September 06 20092009-09-06A thatched workshop where artisans shape copper-coloured metal sculptures on the floor. A man in a white vest and white dhoti sits on a low stool at the right, bent over a sculpture piece and working with a torch or tool; a second seated worker in a grey shirt and dark trousers bends over metal pieces; a third man in a plaid shirt and blue checked lungi stands at the back. Scattered around them are sculpted parts, stone bases, copper-coloured figure fragments, a clay pot, cloth and bamboo walls. No deity murti is clearly identifiable and no one is clearly a person by appearance.2009-09-06A shirtless man sits cross-legged on a concrete floor in a workshop, working on silver-plated relief panels with chisels and small hammers. He wears a maroon checked lungi, a red thread around his wrist, and has a moustache. Around him lie embossed silver sheets with floral scrollwork, wooden mallets, bags of cloth, plastic water jugs and steel containers against a plain whitewashed wall. No a person appearance is visible, so this is a craftsman at work.2013-06-29
