Two male artisans wearing traditional galabiya (جلابية) garments sit cross-legged on the floor, hand-carving white stone — likely alabaster or limestone — into cups and vessels, surrounded by raw rock chunks and partially finished pieces. Behind them, a painted wall mural illustrates the traditional pottery and kiln-firing process, providing cultural context for the craft. This type of stone carving is a traditional handicraft practiced in Upper Egypt, particularly in the Luxor region, where artisans have shaped alabaster into decorative objects for centuries.
