A photograph of a large grey plaster or clay deity figure lying on a concrete floor during fabrication. The sculpture shows a multi-armed deity with an ornate crown, a broad torso with chest ornaments and a sash, and raised hands holding objects. Its surface is pale and dusty, and a section of the frame is exposed beneath. Behind it, a man in a checked lungi crouches and works with a power tool. No visible person is posed for the camera; the only human figure is the worker at the back. The scene is an unfinished statue being made in a workshop.
