September 03 20092009-09-03December 10 20062006-12-10 +1 copiesA 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.2009-09-03December 10 20062006-12-10 +1 copiesJuly 25 20072007-07-25A photograph of weathered, tarnished metal fragments lying on bare red earth among scraps of crumpled newspaper, cast-off sheet metal strips and old rusted containers. Two large curved metal pieces in the foreground show embossed scalloped and fluted forms with blue-green and iridescent patina, one with a rounded knob at its base. Behind them are pale plaster or clay moulds and a weathered cylindrical metal drum. A wooden plank runs diagonally at the right edge. No people are visible, and the scene appears to be a workshop yard for metal casting work.2006-12-10July 14 20132013-07-14July 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.2009-07-01December 12 20092009-12-12Several weathered, damaged copper-toned sculptural pieces lie scattered on grey stone floor slabs, apparently fragments of a larger deity or temple figure. Visible parts include a curved ornamental section with carved scrollwork, a tubular arm-like piece, and a cone-shaped crown or finial element, with traces of gold gilding on the carved surfaces. No people are visible. The pieces are covered in rust-colored patina and show chipped edges, with a faint reddish stain on the floor at left.2013-07-14July 01 20092009-07-01
