A large covered workshop hall with a corrugated metal roof on steel trusses and a tiled floor, filled with sculptural work in progress. Two men in work clothes stand at a wooden workbench on the left, one in a blue shirt and one in a white shirt with dark trousers, working on a piece of wood. Around them are sculpted statues and figures, including a golden animal figure at left, and stacks of wooden boards, carved pieces and sacks along the right. Further back, several people in orange and saffron robes walk down the aisle between the workstations, and a white-clad figure sits near the right wall. A suspended lifting frame and steel poles stand in the centre.
