Crafting Lamp in Luxor

by Melody Williams

Bright late morning light slants across the narrow alley of Luxor’s Khan el-Khalili, illuminating a brassworker’s station where a folding ruler lies abandoned beside a half-finished lamp shade. The artisan’s hand, dusted with fine copper powder, holds a hammer poised over the metal, while nearby, a stack of stoneware crocks sits unused, their rough clay against the polished gold of the fixture. Sunlight catches the hairline scratches on the brass surface, revealing the wear of daily labor.
