The sculpture features a large hand, extended with fingers spread apart, made of a metallic material with a shiny surface reflecting light. To the right of the hand, there is a smaller figure resembling a cherub or angel, playing a trumpet, positioned close to the wrist. The sculpture is outdoor, with power lines visible in the background. The hand is depicted realistically in its proportions and details. The cherub figure adds a dynamic element to the composition.
