Inside a stone building, finished products of the smithy hang on the wall to the viewer's right: two full-size shovels and one for a smaller person, a full-sized rake and one for the same smaller person as the shovel. An almost finished fourth shovel leans against the stone slab of the worktable. Between the unfinished shovel and the finished products on the wall, an iron floor lamp with a bowl-style upturned stained glass top looks clean and polished, ready for delivery.
The forge itself is currently lit. It is made of light-colored stone and is rounded. It has a black chimney rising up out of sight, going through the dull black roof.
Brick steps form a riser at the end of the worktable closest to the forge.
The far wall from the viewer has two windows. The upper window is huge. It is a triangle, with a black spiderweb pattern made of black metal centered in it. Each segment of glass between the portions of spiderweb is a smoky blue-white color. letting light in but not a clear view of the sky. The lower window is perhaps half to two thirds the size of the upper window. It is square, with a kaleidoscope pattern to its stained glass pieces. The glass is green and purple and a beige so pale it is almost white. The square window gives the impression that the kaleidoscope could turn, moving the pieces and changing the colors, at any given second.
Between the viewer and the square window are a water barrel with rippling water barely visible close to the top, and a Japanese-style fire brazier standing up on its tripod legs. The fuel in the metal bowl-shaped cage atop the tripod is burning much more orange than the forge.
