Clay modelling work on a pale, stained wooden table. Several brown clay figures and forms are arranged: a small rounded hut or shelter with an arched doorway at the centre, a lumpy seated figure with a raised arm and hands on the left, a hunched animal-like shape on the right, a small cluster of tiny clay pieces, and long curved and ridged clay strips across the bottom. No people are visible except partial limbs at the top edge.

A photograph of clay modelling work laid out on a cream cardboard sheet over a blue plastic tarpaulin. Several unfired clay figures and forms are arranged across the sheet: a seated figure with outstretched arms at upper left, a reclining figure at upper right, a small coiled and flower-like shape near centre, and a larger figure with a raised trunk-like arm and limbs at lower left. Scattered clay balls and coils fill the gaps. No people are visible in the frame.

A photo of unfired clay sculptures laid out on a wooden board covered with blue plastic sheeting. The figures include a small seated animal-like figure with a rounded head, a teddy-bear shaped figure, a seated figure with a raised arm, a coiled clay base, a small upright linga-like form with a coil, and a large clay structure with many small rounded protrusions and a crescent-shaped top. A metal bucket of muddy water sits at upper left, and blurred figures in the background appear to be seated people working. The clay is grey-brown and the lighting is warm and dim.

A photograph of handmade clay sculptures on a worn wooden board with stains and scratches. Several small brown clay figures are arranged: a tall stacked figure at upper left, a lumpy figure with a cylinder shape at the bottom center, and a rounded blob beside it. A clay-coil letter arrangement along the right edge spells out the word ANANDA in raised brown clay, with the letters partly cut off by the frame. No people are visible.

A photograph of a clay modelling activity on a white board covered with brown clay smears, placed on a blue plastic sheet. Several small hand-shaped clay objects are arranged: a lumpy elephant-like figure on the left, a curled piece at top centre, a bowl-like shape at top right, small clay balls, and round lumps with a stick-like form. Only part of a child's hands is visible at the upper left and left edge, pointing at the clay.

A photograph of clay modelling work laid out on a flat tan board placed over a blue plastic sheet. Several unfired clay sculptures sit on the board: a tall stacked clay structure, a small vessel-like form with a handle, a round pot with a spout, a small stick-figure human shape with outstretched arms and legs, a cylindrical piece with a flat top, and a few rough lumps and pieces. No people are visible in the frame.

A close-up photo of a handmade clay diorama on a concrete floor. Small brown clay figures and structures stand on a flat mud base, including a seated figure, a stool-like form, a tall standing figure and a round clay pot. A green neem-like branch with serrated leaves rises from the back, with a pink flower tuft near its base. Blurred hall walls, a red-and-blue backdrop and a plastic chair appear in the background. No people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of a clay sculpture scene on a brown-smeared board. Several small clay figures sit in a row along a raised clay wall at the top, and a central figure with a raised arm stands on a clay base beside a seated figure with a rounded head. A small green leaf lies among the figures. No people are visible; the figures are modelled clay sculptures.

A photograph of crude clay figures and small objects arranged on a pale, dusty tabletop against a plain wall and floor with a striped woven mat at the top edge. Left, a squat lumpy clay figure with a rounded head and blob-like body stands beside a smaller figure on its shoulders. Center, a rough clay hut with a curved arched handle or roof form and a small sitting figure on top. Right, a clay figure with a round head and outstretched arms. Scattered clay pieces and small wooden sticks form a fence-like rail and a small bench. The handmade sculptures suggest a children's clay modelling activity. No people are visible.

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.

A child's hands shape clay figures on a blue plastic sheet. Several small unfired clay sculptures lie scattered: a figure with a curled tail, a rounded vessel, a bulbous lump, a seated figure and a few smaller pieces. A larger clay mound sits on a cardboard sheet in the foreground, and a white cloth edge is visible at the right. The scene looks like a clay modelling activity.
