The object is lying on its side with the palm facing up. The sculpture has a hollowed-out center. The object is made of clear glass or crystal with a pinkish tint. A smaller version of the same object is to the right. The background is a gray gradient, dark at the top and light at the bottom. The objects cast shadows on the surface below them.
