An open shallow wooden cabinet with two hinged painted doors and a frontal scene of rounded hand-modelled paste forms on simple ledges, opaque brush colour, small tool dents and coherent miniature contact shadows. Build the scene as a shallow stage of five or six separate paper planes set one behind another, the front plane cut as an open frame, each plane casting a soft shadow on the next, light from one side or glowing from behind a middle plane. The woman and the lost coin in a tall frame: inside the cabinet a one room stone house with a woman in a clay red head covering sweeping the floor with a broom and holding a small oil lamp, a small gold coin glinting between two floor stones, neighbours at the open door in the next plane, shelves of jars and a loom in the back planes.
Light: warm lamp glow in the front plane and a spot of gold from the coin, opaque brush colour in sand, clay red, olive and indigo, small tool dents in the paste; palette of sand, clay red, olive, indigo and gold; searching, homely, warm.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame. A respectful parable scene in a simple ancient setting, figures as plain cut-paper shapes with small painted dot eyes and no glowing eyes, no halos, no lettering or readable scripture, no brand marks, nothing irreverent.
