A photograph of a sculptor's hands shaping a clay bust of a man's face on a wooden block. One hand supports the head from the side while the other holds a fine modelling tool against the cheek and nose area. The clay is dark brown and textured. Behind it, a cream textured wall displays several printed portraits of a figure in red-orange ornate clothing with a garland, and a framed printed photo of a child-like figure with dark hair in red sits at lower right. No physical people beyond the two hands are visible; the bust and portraits are not physical people.

A clay or wax sculpture of a male head on a wooden board is being shaped by a hand with a sculpting tool. The head has short swept hair and a smooth face with a prominent nose. A hand and forearm enter from the left. Behind the bust, a plain whitewashed block wall displays three small framed photographs of ornate red and gold clothing, garlands and a decorative ceremonial vessel. A sculpting stick and a knife rest on the board. No physical people are visible beyond the hand, and the head is a sculpted likeness, not a person present in the scene.2013-06-25A photograph of a young man in a white t-shirt sculpting a clay head on a wooden stand.

A sculptor's wooden modelling tool lies on the block in the foreground, and a blurred hand enters the frame at the right.
