A large copper-coloured sculpted pair of feet, with toes and an arched sole detail, lies on a sandy floor in a workshop or work area, apparently partly coated in plaster or cast material. A sheet of newspaper lies behind it and a small torn packet sits to the right. Behind and beside the feet are partially visible similar copper-toned sculptural forms, and the rough, unfinished setting suggests the statue is in fabrication. No people are visible.2009-09-06December 12 20092009-12-12A photograph of a large reddish-orange clay or plaster sculpture lying on a concrete base on a dirt floor, appearing to be an unfinished or in-progress statue with yellowish lines marking its shape. Beside it lie smaller pieces of the same reddish material, a rusted metal tool, a small metal cup, scraps of newspaper and a pink cloth. Only a pair of bare feet is visible at the top edge, belonging to someone partly out of frame. No deity or a person depiction is clearly identifiable.2009-09-03December 28 20112011-12-28A concrete floor in a thatched-walled space with woven bamboo panels behind. In the foreground lie several large copper-coloured repoussé sheets embossed with raised ornate patterns, apparently temple or ritual metalwork such as plates or covers, arranged loosely on the ground. Nearby are a stainless steel plate with a ladle, a steel tumbler, a terracotta bowl on a ledge, a white plastic bag, a red marker pen and a white bucket. No people are visible.2009-07-01Photograph of several ornate copper-coloured metal objects resting on a grey metal table in a tiled room with terracotta hexagonal floor tiles. The pieces appear to be engraved, embossed ceremonial fittings with scalloped rims and foot-shaped or sandal-like forms, including a large pair in the foreground and a smaller curved piece at right. No people are visible.2011-12-28A close photo of a heap of weathered, tarnished metal sculptural fragments on a dusty concrete floor, appearing to be broken or cast-off pieces of statues or figures. Several curved metal shapes show rounded forms with rusty red edges and bluish patina, including what looks like feet, folded drapery and a rounded base. A wrinkled piece of paper and a metal bin sit at the left edge, and a few terracotta-coloured pieces lie in the lower right. No people are visible.2009-09-03July 25 20072007-07-25A photograph of a dusty ground littered with large corroded metal fragments, apparently damaged or disassembled sculptural parts with a reddish-brown patina and gold-toned streaks. Two curved copper-coloured pieces with embossed scroll and swirl patterns lie in the foreground, and a larger plated fragment with a worn, scorched look rests behind them. A pink plastic basket, a hammer, pliers, scattered paper and a stone block sit among the debris. No people are visible and no a person candidate appears in the scene.2009-12-19September 03 20092009-09-03Close photograph of a pair of ornately embossed copper or bronze legs. The metal is worked with floral scrollwork, beaded borders and repeating foliate patterns, and red kumkum marks are visible on the pavement. An orange cloth and a striped purple and red fabric edge appear in the background. No people are visible.2015-08-23October 22 20112011-10-22
