Description: A blind man is weaving a basket, using a large round metal or ceramic mold to shape it. The many reeds being manipulated by his two hands are standing up stiffly, as tall - or even taller - than he is. The room he is in is darkened, but his face and upper body is brightly spotlighted. He is looking up, eyes closed, and smiling.
