The sculpture features a large metallic hand with fingers outstretched, the back facing up, and the palm towards the viewer. A rope ties around the wrist, connecting to a small winged figure blowing a horn. The hand and figure are metallic, set against a countryside landscape with trees, a building with a triangular roof, and power lines in the sky.
