Craftsman making vessels, India, ca. 1930

Black and white lantern slide showing a male Indian craftsman making vessels or pots. He poses as if hammering a metal rod into shape, and pots with metal rivets lie by his feet. The tools of the craftsman lie on the floor around him. This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
