A male artisan is depicted performing pottery work in an outdoor setting in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The individual, characterized by a dark beard with grey streaks and wearing a light grey traditional garment, is actively molding a large, unglazed, conical terracotta pot with both hands positioned at its upper rim. His hands and forearms are heavily soiled with dried clay. In the immediate foreground, three additional unglazed terracotta pots are visible, two with serrated rim textures and one with etched wavy patterns on its exterior. The background consists of a rough, light brown brick wall constructed from irregular bricks. The scene is illuminated by strong overhead sunlight, casting distinct shadows.
