A dim brick-walled workshop with an earthen floor shows a molten metal pour in progress. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, bent over a crucible glowing bright orange-red on the ground, while a bare-chested worker in a striped shirt and white dhoti holds a long iron rod across it. Small clay lamps with flames line the crucible's edge. Behind them, a group of onlookers stands watching, including two women in orange and red saris. A metal basin and sacks lie against the wall. The scene appears to be a traditional metal casting.
