Black stone sculptures of standing deity figures in a workshop, set against a whitewashed wall with a dirt floor. The central figure is a tall statue with a tiered crown, a broad ornate collar, bangled arms and hands held together at the chest in anjali mudra, wearing a patterned waist sash and a long draped cloth. To the right, a second statue raises one arm holding a round disc, possibly a chakra, and its forearm is adorned with bangles. Another partially visible carved piece sits at the far left edge. No people are visible, and the statues are unpainted, polished dark stone awaiting finishing.
