DescriptionA wall-mounted sculpture composed of a tall, narrow, wooden rectangular prism with an open front and back. Two short wood pieces protrude forward from either side of the sculpture's top. A thin, crescent-shaped piece of wood with a painted white tip and a wooden triangle are attached to left side. Several irregularly-shaped wood pieces line the right side. The front edge of the sculpture is covered in worn, stained strips of canvas, attached with staples. The inside is lined with paper book pages, which are dated to 1881 and identified as the Rosicrucian Ephemeris, an astrological guide.
