A heavily corroded metal sculpture shows two feline-like animals on either side of a central animal body, arranged in a horizontal group. The left animal has a long curving tail and a low, crouched stance, while the right one has its head turned down toward the centre. The pitted, encrusted surface is shown against a pale background on a mount, with a number label along the bottom edge.
