This earthenware sculpture is formed of a rounded base finished in a chartreuse-like glaze, with a a dark, earthy brown coloured base. Two protrusions emerge from either side of the narrow part, with tails of cow hair coming out of each end. At the top is a terracotta streaked, kidney-shaped ceramic element with three openings tied with wax thread and orange and beige leather. Four thin grass bunches sprout from the top, two like antennae, the other two forming a cross. The grass is secured at six various points using orange wax thread.
