A photograph of two men working outdoors on a large wooden cabinet or wardrobe with carved, engraved panels. One man in a white shirt and orange lungi crouches on top of the open cabinet, working on its frame. A second man in a white shirt and checked lungi stands at the side, holding a tool and steadying the piece. A small child sits partly hidden behind them. A blue-legged metal workbench with tools lies in front, and thatched palm-leaf huts with a text sign on a bamboo wall stand behind them.
