FETCHING WATER-METAL EMBOSSING

Here is my metal embossing 

where I have etched out 

this village belle fetching pots of water 

Is she fetching water  from a nearby well or

 a far away pond or a distant river?

Balancing a pot on her head while 

carrying another in her hand

she walks happily to her home and hearth

with these pots filled with the elixir of life,

Water is still a precious commodity,

in many an arid Indian village

and women trekking more than a mile

for a pot of water is a familiar sight too...
