A photograph of two men working on a terracotta clay head sculpture on a yellow-covered table in a doorway. The man on the left wears a white shirt and pink-beige dhoti and holds the sculpture's base; the man in the middle wears a yellow and white checked shirt and white dhoti and rests his hands on the clay head. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe sits at the right beside a microphone stand, looking toward the sculpture. A pedestal fan stands behind the sculpture, with framed images on the wall. The sculpture shows a smiling male face. Three people are visible.
