The center of the object features a raised figure of a man with curly hair, wearing a cloth wrapped around his waist. He appears to be standing on flames. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm is extended downward. To the right of the man, there are some raised, abstract shapes. The object has two small holes on either side, possibly for attachment. The background is a light gray surface, with shadows cast by the object. The object titled "Allegory" by the artist.
