The artwork depicts a composition of shapes and lines creating an abstract scene. A figure with a square head filled with facial profiles holds an oval platter with a snake or worm-like object. In the background, a structure with facial cutouts resembling a house is visible. A smaller figure to the left raises its arms in a gesture suggesting motion. Ground lines suggest a beach or desert setting.
