Silver ritual objects are arranged on the table: silver staffs or rods, a silver vessel with a spouted pouring lip and a white cloth or stone insert, a silver lamp stand, and silver feet or footwear pieces. Behind the table are dark stone or bronze figures and gold-coloured deity murti or crowns on a teal cloth. A person in an orange robe stands at the upper right, partly cropped. The setting looks like a temple workshop or storeroom, with bare walls and a metal shelf in the background.2016-02-23November 29 20132013-11-29Overhead photo of three unfinished metal figures being cast or finished on a stone floor, each set in a shallow sand or clay mould. The figures are dull bronze-coloured standing deities, with the central one holding a long staff or weapon, and bottom stubs of metal still attached. A bare-footed craftsman in a blue and white checked lungi sits at lower left, with a pair of sandals visible at right and a round metal bowl of liquid at top. Dust and sand scatter the floor.Close photo of several small silver-toned metal deity figures lying on a white cloth-covered table, displayed for a ceremony or inspection. The figures show ornate jewelled headdresses, armour-like garments and raised arms, with one figure's head and tusk-like features prominent.

Several gilded and dark-patinated bronze figures lie on their backs and sides, including a standing figure with raised arms and a female figure with a long sash. Hollow cylindrical bases and pedestals sit between them, and wooden blocks and red-painted stands are visible at the edges. No people are visible in the frame.2014-08-24A photograph of a cluttered display of brass and copper ritual objects laid out on a striped woven cloth in a dim room. Visible items include a copper repoussé panel with circular motifs, copper horn-shaped vessels, brass oil lamps on stands, brass bells, a stack of gold-coloured wrapped sheets, cone-shaped brass finials and small lamps. No people are visible, so this is an object arrangement rather than a gathering, and no one in the scene can be identified as a person.2016-12-12Indoor workshop scene with several gilded metal deity murtis standing on wooden bases, a wooden palanquin-style cradle or swing frame, and brass lamps and bells spread on a white cloth on the floor. A man in white dhoti and shirt on the left presses his palms together in namaskar, his neck garlanded. On the right, a person in orange-red robes with a yellow border holds a shallow brass bowl and stands beside the wooden frame, head bowed. Behind them are a plain whitewashed wall, a caged light fixture and a framed picture. Three people are visible in total, one partially at the left edge.2014-08-06
