A photograph in an indoor hall showing a large unfinished terracotta clay sculpture of a seated, turbaned figure with one arm extended, displayed on a wooden base beside a metal table. Seated behind it on a red patterned cloth is a person in orange robes with an orange head wrap and a rudraksha mala, raising one hand in greeting. Beside them a woman in a yellow patterned dupatta and a man in a white shirt and khaki trousers stand and look toward the sculpture. To the left, brass oil lamps stand on a ledge in front of a wall of tall decorative spears, and a wooden throne-like seat with an ornate backrest is visible in the background. The person in orange is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified by the orange head wrap, rudraksha mala and saffron robes; the identity is unconfirmed from appearance alone.

Behind it, a seated person in orange robes, orange head wrap and a dark bead mala sits on a cushion with one hand raised. Brass oil lamps and a wooden cabinet stand in the background. The clay figure is a statue in progress, not a living person. The seated person in orange is a physical presence, but the page does not establish who this is and the appearance is not distinctive enough to claim a match, so identity is left unsure. Visible text includes partial lettering on a wall sign.2009-08-08August 21 20092009-08-21 +1 copiesA seated clay sculpture in progress, modelled in unfired terracotta-coloured clay on a wooden pallet inside a studio.
