Coppersmith Hammering Tray in Fez Souk

by Melvin Hudson

Early autumn clouds hang low over the stone bench where a coppersmith works. Copper-toned light from the dying day illuminates the rhythmic motion of the hammer striking a flat metal tray. The artisan wears a simple apron stained with metal dust, his hands gripping the tool with practiced steadiness. Around him, woven baskets and folded textiles rest on the rough wooden counter, hinting at the morning's busy trade. Shadows lengthen across the uneven floor, catching the warm glow reflecting off the polished copper surface. A small pile of scrap metal sits near his elbow, discarded shavings glinting in the fading illumination.
