A red thread is tied on his wrist. Around him lie metal tools, a hammered copper bowl, stacked copper pots and wooden crates, and a concrete block wall stands behind. No a person candidate is visible; the scene shows metal casting and craft work at a sacred arts setting.2006-12-10 +1 copiesA man in a white short-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers sits barefoot on the ground, working on flat brass or gold-coloured metal plates engraved with decorative script-like borders. He holds a chisel and hammer and has a pile of metal tools beside him. Around him lie large carved stone pieces, a red metal bowl, green buckets, and dry grass and rubble at an outdoor work site. No identifiable a person figure is visible.2009-07-07A man in a checked collared shirt and white lungi crouches on a concrete floor, hammering a repoussé design into a sheet of orange-and-brown patinated copper. A wooden-handled chisel or punch rests against the metal, and scattered nails, metal curls and wood shavings lie around him. The embossed relief shows a face with bulging eyes, possibly a deity or mask motif. The scene looks like a metal craft workshop.2006-12-10 +1 copiesJune 17 20132013-06-17A man in a yellow and white striped shirt and a checked lungi sits cross-legged on a dirt floor, hammering a copper-coloured metal dish or bowl with a wooden-handled tool. The dish has a fluted, lotus-like rim and rests on dark ground beside a second copper piece. A red pencil lies nearby, along with a small booklet, and a wristwatch is visible on his hand. This appears to be metal casting and finishing work at a workshop setting. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.2006-12-10July 19 20092009-07-19A young man in a grey-green short-sleeved shirt and dark green lungi sits cross-legged on the floor of a plain room, bent over a flat sheet of paper with a blue-ink floral scroll design. He holds a small tool or pen against the paper with both hands. Behind him on a low wooden table stand brass figurines of deities, a steel tiffin-style container and sacks. Plastic sheets and a hammer lie on the floor.2013-06-17
