Close photograph of a damaged, rust-coloured copper-toned metal relief panel with embossed scrolling or floral ornamentation, lying in wet ground and partly broken away from a plaster or cement base. A bare foot with dark skin rests at the upper right, and a bare foot appears at the top edge. A small blue-and-white plastic container sits at the lower right. A purple bird logo appears at the top left. Wet earth and debris surround the relief. No people are fully visible, and no a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.

No people, deity murti, or a person candidate is visible.2011-10-22Close view of a large, weathered copper-coloured repoussé object lying on grey paving stones. It is an ornately embossed hollow form, possibly part of a vehicle or ritual piece, with scrolled foliate patterns, bead-and-dot borders and a rosette medallion on the right. A second embossed section lies behind it. No people are visible; the image is a photo of the metal object.2011-10-22October 22 20112011-10-22December 28 20112011-12-28September 06 20092009-09-06A photograph of a large reddish-orange clay or plaster sculpture lying on a concrete base on a dirt floor, appearing to be an unfinished or in-progress statue with yellowish lines marking its shape. Beside it lie smaller pieces of the same reddish material, a rusted metal tool, a small metal cup, scraps of newspaper and a pink cloth. Only a pair of bare feet is visible at the top edge, belonging to someone partly out of frame. No deity or a person depiction is clearly identifiable.2009-09-03July 01 20092009-07-01September 03 20092009-09-03A large copper-coloured sculpted pair of feet, with toes and an arched sole detail, lies on a sandy floor in a workshop or work area, apparently partly coated in plaster or cast material. A sheet of newspaper lies behind it and a small torn packet sits to the right. Behind and beside the feet are partially visible similar copper-toned sculptural forms, and the rough, unfinished setting suggests the statue is in fabrication. No people are visible.2009-09-06A photograph of broken, weathered bronze or copper metal fragments laid out on an orange cloth on the floor. The pieces appear to be parts of a deity murti or ritual sculpture: a curved arm or limb, ornate carved panels, a lotus-shaped base piece, a torso fragment with engraved patterns, and a tall tubular section. Patina and dark discolouration are visible across the pieces. Edges of maroon or saffron-coloured cloth are visible at the top corners, and a metal bucket sits at the left. No people are visible in the frame.2013-09-04
