A photograph of metalworking tools on a stone surface in a workshop. Two worn hammers with wooden handles rest on a pale stone block, alongside a pair of rusted iron tongs and a row of six rusty iron chisels or punches arranged along a concrete ledge. A curved, perforated tin or leather vessel sits at the left edge. No people are visible, and no deity, a person or ritual activity appears in the frame.
