Close photograph of a partially excavated object in red-brown soil: a cracked, clay-coloured form, possibly a broken statue or pot, wrapped in tangled wire and dark charcoal-like debris. A person's hand, adorned with gold bangles, reaches in from the upper left, and a bare foot is visible at the upper right. Scattered gravel and crumbled earth surround the find.

Close view of a large weathered reddish-brown stone object partly buried in loose tan-brown earth. The rough rounded stone has a dark, blackened, pitted patch on its upper surface, with thin wire or metal strands wrapped and running across it. Another stone shape lies beside it, with sand and soil around both. No people are visible.

A photograph of a broken, earthen-coloured clay or stone statue lying on reddish-brown soil and rubble, partly excavated. Wire mesh and rusted metal rods protrude from the cracked body, and dark charred material shows at one end. Two people are partly visible at the edges: a man on the left wearing white dhoti with a red-bordered cloth and gold bangle, using a blue-handled tool to chip at the figure, and another person's hand on the right holding a small tool. Bare feet and a sandal appear near the lower left.

A photograph of an outdoor earthen cooking or fire setup on bare ground. Bright orange flames burn in a dark clay pot or vessel, surrounded by ash and glowing embers. Corrugated metal sheets, tilted and angled, shield the fire on several sides. Red brick blocks form the base and a small clay container sits at the fire's edge. Scattered sticks and debris lie on the dirt. No people are visible in the frame.

A large weathered stone sculpture lies partly excavated in reddish-brown soil. It appears to be a broken or unearthed carved stone object, with a dark, smooth patch and wire tied around its surface. A bare foot is visible at the top left edge and a metal pipe runs along the top of the frame. The scene looks like an archaeological or site-clearing excavation. No people are clearly visible apart from the partial foot.

A large clay-covered sculpture of a reclining figure or deity form rests over an open brick-lined fire pit at night, with flames licking its underside and smoke rising. Dark metal pots and a tub of liquid sit on the ground in front of the fire, and a figure in white clothing is faintly visible in the background near a wall. Scattered sticks, straw and tools lie on the dirt floor of a workshop.
