Abstract, welded sculpture consisting of a cultivator plow attached to a circular timing gear from a combustion engine. The gear has projecting keys on its exterior side. At the base of the plow are two ball bearings, with a central iron "leaf" with well defined veins, and a twisted metal rod springing out of each bearing. The twisted metal rods form a V-shape, with a fleur-de-lis pattern within it (from the iron leaf). The entire piece is mounted atop a twisted metal rod, driven into an upright railroad tie.
