Tea Merchant Weighing Leaves on Brass Scale

by Archer Armstrong

Molten side light from the setting sun floods the narrow lane, striking the polished brass beam of a weighing scale. Dark, loose tea leaves pile on the left pan while the merchant's stained fingers adjust small metal weights on the right. Behind the instrument, rough woven jute sacks bulge against damp walls marked by recent monsoon rain. The peeling paint on the lane side shows layers of faded color under the low orange glow. Dust settles on the wooden base beside the scale, and a single brass weight rests on the grain of the wood, its surface mirroring the intense light.
