A close view of a molten metal casting process in progress. A large crucible or clay mould-like vessel sits on a sandy, reddish-orange ground, with bright orange flames leaping from its top. Beside it stands a rounded clay or stone block with a hole in its top, and a long bamboo or wooden rod rests at the right. Only bare feet and the lower legs of an attendant wearing a light white garment and a saffron-orange cloth are visible at the upper right. No face or a person candidate is visible, and the setting appears to be an outdoor workshop for sacred metal-casting.
