Its head is topped with a flattened band or crown-like form. The figure stands against a dark background with a pale grey wall behind it. No people are present; the figure is a sculpted statue.

The figure has a tall tiered topknot, a carved face with closed eyes, bare chest and arms that are still partly unshaped, and a rough, glossy brown finish. Carving tools with yellow and black handles lie to the right, and a partially visible hand with a white sleeve rests at the left edge. Dust and debris cover the floor. No people are fully visible, and the setting is a sculptor's workshop rather than a ritual event.2013-07-04Close photo of a large dark bronze-toned statue of a bare-chested male figure with a wrapped waist cloth and a raised hand holding a small object. A person in an orange garment with a white thread bracelet stands at right, one hand resting on the statue's shoulder and the other supporting its arm. Plain grey cinderblock wall behind. The visible living person is wearing orange ochre clothing and is partially visible at the edge of the frame.2013-10-05June 06 20132013-06-06A photograph of a large dark brown wooden sculpture lying horizontally on a black work surface in a dim workshop. The carved figure is seen from above with arms and legs extended, its head at right with carved facial features, and the glossy surface shows a light sheen. A pair of carving tools with yellow handles and a black chair are at the upper left, and a partially visible person's bare legs and white cloth appear at the top edge. No one is seated on the figure; the sculpture is being worked on.2013-07-04Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityClose photo of two hands holding a dark, weathered wooden or carved figurine of a standing deity with a tall crown-like headdress and multiple arms. The left hand, in a white shirt sleeve with a hairy wrist, cups the figure from below. A second hand on the right holds the top of it, and a man in a blue and brown checked lungi stands at the right edge. The background is dark and blurred. Two people are partly visible, only their hands and clothing, so the count is one to two physical people.2013-06-17A close photo of two hands shaping a small dark clay figurine of a standing seated-style human figure with outstretched arms. One hand holds the figure steady while the other, holding a reddish-brown wooden modelling tool, carves fine lines along its torso and drapery. A second, partly formed clay piece lies on the grey surface in the background, and a white cloth with a red-and-black edge is visible at the right. No physical person is visible beyond the hands, and the figure is a sculpture, not a person depiction.2013-07-11July 14 20132013-07-14September 04 20132013-09-04 +1 copies
