A photograph of metal work pieces laid on a concrete floor in a workshop. Several curved and flat metal sheets with embossed scrolling floral and foliate patterns lean against a cinder-block wall, some dark and oxidised, others with a golden-brown patina. A long straight ruler stands among them, with hammers and a metal cylinder at the lower left and right edges. No people are visible.
