The sculpture is a decorative metal object with a linear base and an extended handle. It is adorned with arcuate elements and curling motifs on either end. The sculpture is predominantly grey. It resembles a utilitarian tool-like object with symmetrical arches and spirals standing upright on the flat base, giving it a structured and symmetrical appearance. The long handle extends horizontally from the center, while the sculpture's legs are simple and slightly curved to provide elevation and balance.
