A photograph of an indoor studio space with a bare white cinder-block wall and an orange-framed glass display case holding framed portrait photographs. A clay bust of a smiling bald man with large ears sits on a wooden stand in the foreground. In the left foreground, a man with long dark hair tied up, bare-backed and wearing an orange cloth wrapped over his shoulder, stands facing the display case and the clay bust. Another person in a yellow and white checked garment is partly visible at the lower centre, working near the bucket beside the stand. The visible people are a sculptor's workspace setting rather than a ritual scene; the man in orange is a person in orange clothing with no clear basis for identifying him.

September 20 20062006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20A photograph in an indoor workspace with plain white cinder-block walls. In the foreground, a man with long dark hair tied back in a knot stands with his back partly turned, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders and a saffron cloth around his waist. Facing him, a bald man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a small badge on his chest gestures toward a brown clay bust of a man's head on a wooden table at right. Another man in a yellow-checked shirt stands behind the bust, and a partly visible man in white stands at left. The clay bust shows a smooth-featured head with short hair. Tools and a sheet of paper lie on the table.2006-09-20A photograph of a sculptor working on an unfinished clay bust of a smiling man's head with a bald crown, the sculptor's finger touching the clay lips. The sculptor, seen in profile on the left, wears round wire-rimmed glasses and has greying hair and a beard. Behind them, a shelf holds framed photographs of smiling men, one wearing a white shirt and another in a light headwrap. A red-edged wall frame sits above.2006-09-20June 27 20132013-06-27July 13 20132013-07-13 +1 copiesJune 27 20132013-06-27A man with grey hair and wire-rimmed glasses, wearing a white shirt, leans in to work on a clay bust of a head with his hands, smoothing its cheek. A second pair of hands, one wearing a gold ring and a dark bracelet, steadies the clay head from behind. Behind them is a shelf of books and a wall in a bright room. The bust is an unpainted clay sculpture being modelled by hand. The sculptor is a physical person; the clay head is a sculpture, not a living person.2006-09-20A photograph of an indoor scene with a white-washed block wall and orange-painted lower wall. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a saffron-orange wrap over his shoulders and chest, stands at left, gesturing with one hand toward a clay bust. Two men in white shirts stand beside him: a balding man with a mustache and a ring on one hand touching his chin, and an older man with grey hair and glasses, pointing toward the bust in the lower right. Behind them a man in a saffron wrap over a white shirt raises a mobile phone to take a picture. A partially visible person stands at far left. A light-coloured clay bust of an elderly man sits in the foreground right. Appearance of the saffron-wrapped man with long hair is consistent with the page reference but not conclusive.2006-09-20A photograph of a sculptor in a white shirt and wire-rimmed glasses working on an unfinished clay bust of a man with a smooth face and close-cropped head. The sculptor's hands shape the chin and neck while another person's hand is visible at the right edge. Behind them on a shelf are framed photographs of a smiling man in a white turban, one with a raised hand. Thin wristbands and a ring are visible on the hands. The scene is an artist's studio with a white wall.2006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20
