A photograph of a workshop courtyard where many large clay-coated sculptural forms lie on the paved ground, arranged in rows on low brick supports. The forms are rough, reddish-brown and grey with fine cracked surface lines, resembling mould or casting pieces for large statues. Metal shelving with boxes, a red wooden stool, cloth and tools stand against the left wall, and white stanchions with chains border the walkway on the right. No people are visible.
