It is a very common sight in India to see a cobbler busy at work by the side of each busy street. Irrespective of whether you are walking by a rural pathway or a teeming urban road, you are bound to find cobblers typically sitting cross-legged on their little pedestal, totally oblivious to the weather conditions, unmindful of the people roaming around, totally immersed in their work. The wonderful wood sculpture on display here depicts the cobbler seated with his various implements such as brush, blocks of wood, piece of leather and so on. He systematically organizes his ware around him, so that he can reach all the tools easily and with the most comfort. The cobbler shown in this statuette settles himself in his seat and prepares for the day's work, with a positive and smiling countenance. Place this little piece on the mantel and this is bound to capture the attention of one and all!)
