The sculpture is an obelisk with a slightly tapering form towards the top. It is made of a solid material that appears to be stone, given its textured surface. It is predominantly gray in color. At the top of the obelisk, there is a rounded shape with a spiraled pattern, resembling a finial. On one side of the obelisk, there are several rounded, irregular shapes carved into the surface. The sculpture stands upright, suggesting a significant height in relation to the average human, and its substantial base indicates stability and weight.
