Carpet clipper in Agra, India

In Agra, India, a man uses low, angled shears to clip the top layer of pile on a carpet to finish it. There is a finished swath near his shears where the design is more defined, and the pile around it is fuzzier and thicker. The carpet is red with a complex floral pattern.
