DescriptionA tall, thin, metal sculpture composed of elements around a central pole. The pole is a dark-toned, thin, slightly bent cylinder. The pole extends out of the opening of a silver rectangular prism with rounded edges, which is in turn mounted to a short, wide cylinder. The cylinder is on top of two layers of parallel rectangular prisms, which are stacked perpendicularly in a "#" shape. Mounted to the thin pole, around the midpoint between the pole's top and the opening of the rectangular prism, is an array of object. At the bottom, a reddish-brown form fleur-de-lis sits on the edge of a silver, square platform. Above this, a golden fish, a loosely-wound spring, and a black bull with white horns hang off various points of a thin spiral shape.
