Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts an arrow-shaped object with two spherical elements attached. The main piece resembles a stylized arrow with jagged edges and circular cutouts. A vertical rod pierces the arrow shape, with a sphere at each end. The sculpture appears to be made of metal, with a smooth texture and metallic tones, against a plain backdrop.
