A young man in a lime-green t-shirt and grey trousers works on a large seated clay sculpture in an unfinished room with pale blue walls. He holds a wooden tool in his right hand and presses clay with his left hand. The terracotta-coloured figure sits cross-legged on a wooden base, wearing a wrapped head covering and a draped garment, with a serene face. A striped upholstered sofa with a zebra-print cushion stands at right, and a wall-mounted electrical conduit is visible at top right. The sculpture appears to be a statue in progress rather than a living person, so no candidate is shown in person.

The figure wears a wrapped turban and a draped garment across the torso, and holds a thin upright rod or stick in one raised hand. The sculpted head faces left with a calm expression. Behind it a plain white wall, a zebra-print sofa with a striped cushion, and a blurred green garment at the right edge show the workshop setting. Clay texture and tool marks are visible across the surface. +1 copiesAugust 21 20092009-08-21 +1 copiesA sculptor in a white short-sleeved shirt works on a life-sized clay figure of a seated man with a wrapped headcloth and draped garment. The sculptor holds a long metal tool with a small wooden handle in one hand while the other hand presses clay at the base. The unfinished clay figure is reddish-brown, with a sarong-like wrap and a raised hand, set against a plain grey wall. A patterned red and dark-blue cloth lies on a step at right. The clay figure depicts a human subject rather than a deity; its features are not clearly visible enough to identify, and no printed name is shown on the figure. +1 copiesAugust 21 20092009-08-21 +1 copiesA photograph of an unfinished clay sculpture of a seated figure in a wrapped turban and draped shawl, legs crossed in a lotus-style pose, one hand raised in a blessing gesture and the other resting on the ground. The clay is raw terracotta-coloured, with tool marks visible on the cloth folds. The figure is a statue, not a living person. Behind it sit orange cushions and a striped mat in a plain room with a barred window and pale blue walls. The sculpture appears to be a work in progress in a studio setting.2009-08-08August 21 20092009-08-21 +1 copiesAugust 08 20092009-08-08Photo of a large unfired clay sculpture of a seated figure with a turban and loose robe, shown in lotus-style posture, on a wooden worktable in a workshop. 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.2009-08-08A large unfired clay sculpture of a seated male figure wearing a turban and loose draped garment, shown in a meditative pose with one hand resting on the knee, placed on a wooden base in a hall. A brass oil lamp stands beside the figure, and orange cloth-covered seats and hanging wooden rods with orange tassels are behind it. At the right edge, a seated person in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala raises one hand in a blessing gesture, partly cropped by the frame. Behind, an ornate carved wooden chair with red upholstery and a gold-trimmed cabinet are visible. +1 copies
