A worker in a pink full-sleeve shirt, plaid lungi and a red-and-white checked head cloth squats on dusty red earth, shaping a grey granite slab with a chisel and hammer. A yellow measuring tape lies across the stone and chips are scattered around it. Behind him is a large heap of crushed grey stone, more cut slabs lean on the ground, and a white plastic chair stands among construction debris, at an outdoor stone-working site.
