Close overhead view of a clay sculpture in progress on a stained, plaster-dusted board. Several small seated figures line a raised clay ridge at the top, and a larger seated figure with a rounded head and short arms sits in the centre beside a smaller bulb-like form. A green leaf lies among the clay pieces. Brown clay smears cover the surface. No people are visible in the frame; the figures are clay models.
