July 25 20072007-07-25A close photo of a heap of weathered, tarnished metal sculptural fragments on a dusty concrete floor, appearing to be broken or cast-off pieces of statues or figures. Several curved metal shapes show rounded forms with rusty red edges and bluish patina, including what looks like feet, folded drapery and a rounded base. A wrinkled piece of paper and a metal bin sit at the left edge, and a few terracotta-coloured pieces lie in the lower right. No people are visible.2009-09-03July 25 20072007-07-25July 25 20072007-07-25July 25 20072007-07-25Photograph of copper-coloured metal sculpture parts laid out on a bare concrete floor. Pieces include a pair of hands with raised fingers, a pair of feet with toe detailing, a pointed ornamental crown-like top piece with embossed patterns, and a forearm or leg section with a decorative banded cuff. The metal shows a polished reddish sheen with engraved floral and bead-line patterns. A small wooden platform is visible behind the crown piece. No people are visible in the scene.2007-07-25July 14 20132013-07-14A dim, unfinished interior with woven bamboo walls and a concrete floor. Several large copper-coloured repoussé sheets lie scattered on the floor, carved with ornate figures, a crown-like headdress and decorative panels, apparently temple-metalwork pieces or statue fragments in progress. Nearby are a wooden plank, a brass-coloured tray, a plastic jug, a grey backpack with a cartoon print, a metal bowl, and clothes hanging from the wall. No people are visible.2009-07-01July 14 20132013-07-14July 14 20132013-07-14Photograph of several large, weathered brown-copper or bronze sculptural fragments laid out on a grey stone-tiled floor, apparently pieces of a temple idol or ornamental figure. Pieces include curled, ridged forms resembling ornate crowns, a large rounded section, and a broken hand-like or conical part, with some surfaces showing green-brown patina. A small white chunk lies at the top. At the left edge, the lower legs of a person wearing an orange and gold-bordered garment and bare feet are partially visible. No deity identification is clear from the visible fragments.2013-07-14A large copper-coloured sculpted pair of feet, with toes and an arched sole detail, lies on a sandy floor in a workshop or work area, apparently partly coated in plaster or cast material. A sheet of newspaper lies behind it and a small torn packet sits to the right. Behind and beside the feet are partially visible similar copper-toned sculptural forms, and the rough, unfinished setting suggests the statue is in fabrication. No people are visible.2009-09-06
