In the foreground, on the left, a blacksmith in clothes made of fabric breaks a fire-heated metal workpiece with a hammer on an anvil fixed in a log. Seated on the left is a man, a future shaman, adjusting the fire made between boulders. Another man is blowing the fire up with forge bellows. A boy is watching the blacksmiths work. Abstract by V.V.
