Two men sit on the ground in a corrugated-metal shed working on a stone sculpture. The man on the left wears a green sleeveless vest, orange cloth wrapped at the waist and a thin cord around his neck, and grips a reddish-brown carved piece resting on a wooden block. The man on the right wears a white t-shirt and white dhoti with a green border, and holds the work with his hands. Around them lie chisels, hammers, pieces of pale stone, sand and a red hand-cranked grinder. A cloth hangs on the back wall and a metal basin sits in the corner.
