Saffron Threads on Brass Scale in Jaipur Workshop

by Kelly Newton

Pale golden threads of saffron rest on the circular pan of an ornate brass scale, their crimson tips against the warm metal. The scale sits on a worn wooden surface within a goldsmith workshop, where indirect afternoon light bounces softly off pale, textured walls. Tiny droplets of condensation rest on the rim of a nearby glass vessel, marking the cool air against the warm room. Dust motes float in the shafts of light illuminating the intricate patterns etched into the brass weights. The quiet precision of early autumn commerce shows, with the red threads scattered slightly across the scale's surface. A small pile of unused threads lies beside the pan, waiting to be measured. A sharp shadow falls across the edge of the wooden table.
