Jewelers Threading Silver Under Lanterns

A canopy of jewel-toned lanterns in teal, magenta, and gold lights a wooden workbench where four jewelers sit stringing beads and shaping silver wire. Small anvils, pliers, and spools of thread crowd the tabletop between jars of turquoise and coral beads, while finished necklaces drape across the wood in loose loops. Behind them, display boards glitter with earrings, bangles, and pendants, and an open cupboard holds bottles and small tools. Two birds perch on the bench's edge, unbothered by the work, as robed figures move through the bazaar beyond, past potted flowers and clay vessels stacked along the walkway. Every jeweler at the table is absorbed in one small clasp or bead, and only together do their pieces become the necklaces glowing on the boards above them.
