Coppersmith Hammering Tray in Fez Tanneries Souk

by Ernest Vaughn

Brass shavings scatter across a worn wooden workbench as a coppersmith drives a heavy hammer against a shallow metal tray. The workshop sits deep within a narrow lane of the Tanneries district in Fez, surrounded by stacked hides and hanging copper vessels. High-altitude noon light strikes the scene with crisp intensity, turning the metal surfaces into bright, reflective planes against the shadowed stone archways. Dramatic, heavy clouds loom overhead, casting shifting patches of gray across the bustling market floor. The artisan wears a loose linen shirt stained with soot, his posture fixed in rhythmic repetition. Dust motes hang suspended in the sunbeams above the anvil, settling slowly on the rough-hewn tools. one drop of oil glistens on the edge of the hammer handle.
