The sculpture consists of two separate components featuring botanical designs resembling leaves or vines. The larger piece at the top has a symmetrical design with an elongated shape and curling elements. The smaller piece below has similar details. Both sculptures are crafted in a material that appears to be metal with a dark, possibly bronze or oxidized patina. The patterns and design elements suggest a decorative purpose, fitting for ornamentation.
