A photograph of children's clay modelling work on a messy white-and-brown table. In the foreground a brown clay tree with bulbous leaf-shaped branches stands on a flat base beside a bowl filled with rounded clay balls. Behind it, a clay figure of a standing person and a seated figure in a shallow clay tray are visible, with more clay sculptures and small wooden-board scenes in the background. A small printed photo card stands on the table. No people are visible in the frame.
