Abstract sculpture depicting six children whose arms and legs are made with tubular metal pieces, and whose heads and bodies are made with flat cut-out metal shapes. The bodies and heads are painted and the arms and legs are brown tube metal. There are two small children, one painted brown and one painted light blue; two medium sized children, one painted brown and one painted green; one tiny child painted light blue; and one large child painted brown. The children appear one on top of the other in a pyramid shape. The large child at the top of the sculpture has its arms extended over its head and holds a ball which is also made of a flat cut-out piece of metal. The other children are gathered around as if trying to reach the ball. The sculpture rests on a circular base consisting of a flat brown disk resting horizontally on top of two vertical curved light blue pieces.
