In the foreground is a log with an anvil fixed in it and a hammer on the ground. Sitting close by, on the left, is a man with the traditional hairstyle – a plait wrapped in fabric. He holds in his hand tongs with a metal workpiece in them, placed in a fire made between two boulders. Seated opposite is a man blowing the fire up with forge bellows. Abstract by V.V. Gorbacheva
