The main shape is similar to a ship's bow. One side of the main shape has a sharp curve which is cantilevered beyond the edge of the base. The other side tapers gradually to a sharp point where it merges with the plinth. The main shape is pierced at the mid-point with a representation of a sword. The handle forms a cross and is ribbed and textural with round knob ends. The blade of the sword is flat and tapers downward to the point. Near the handle the blade expands into a diamond shape. The sword blade intersects the main shape at the upper and lower edges and then appears to extend into the ground.
