Double-sided, unglazed and unpainted ceramic sculpture with an oval-shaped base and raised foot. Sculpture is triangular with a woman forming one side and a man the opposite. Female figure is wearing a dark orange veil, and scalloped headdress with a cross protruding from the top. A naked man is nailed to it, with a small sign above his head. The large female figure is wearing a long pink robe, with her hands held in front of her body, holding a pointed crown(?). Her robe has incised dots and raised floral and curvilinear motifs throughout. Her veil drapes down either of her body, in a trianglular shape, and is covered in raised floral and incised curvilinear motifs. In front of her, is a tall male figure, flanked on either side by six smaller male figures. All are wearing robes with raised floral and incised curvilinear motifs. The central figure has both hands raised up, the others have their arms crossed or hands held in prayer. In front of all of the figures, on the base of the sculpture, are plates, cups, a platter of food, and a jug. The male figure, on the opposite side of the sculpture, has a long moustache, pointed beard and curly hair. He is wearing a pointed headdress with a cross protruding from the top. A winged woman, wearing a crown, is tied to the cross. The large male figure is wearing a long robe, with his hands clasped in front of his body, holding a large flower. His robe has raised and incised curvilinear and dot motifs throughout. On either side of his body, the triangle sculpture is covered in raised floral and incised curvilinear motifs. Beneath him, there are two scalloped archways with a scalloped pedestal in between. A baby lies on the pedestal, with a man and woman on either side of him. Both are wearing capes and robes covered in raised floral motifs. The woman is wearing a veil and both their hands are held up in prayer. A horse and cow kneel next to them, looking up at the baby. In the two flanking archways are angels, wearing robes identical to the man and woman. In front of these figures, along the edge of the sculpture base, are three men wearing capes and headdresses, and holding offerings. The men on the sides are riding horses, the man in the centre is on an elephant. Throughout the scene are flowers. All figures, crockery, plants, and animals on the sculpture are beige, with dark orange highlights throughout. Artist signature carved along the sculpture foot.
The artist uses two types of clay to create texture and varying colouration- her pieces are unpainted. She has developed natural substances, agobes, to add further colours. Agobes are based in clay and coloured with natural substances, such as volcanic ash and stone.
Sculpture is a commentary on gender equality.
