A close view of a brick furnace glowing with bright orange fire. Inside a clay crucible sits a mound of metal fragments and small glowing pieces, heated to red and orange. A long steel tongs or rod rests at the left edge, reaching into the fire. Grey ash and soot cover the stone and brick walls around the opening. No people are visible; the scene shows a metal casting furnace being heated, consistent with a metal casting workshop.
