A light-colored skull with a small skeleton astride it. The skeleton sits atop the skull, leaning forward slightly with one leg on either side. Its arms are bent at the elbows. The larger skull has two empty eye sockets, a nasal cavity, and a toothy mouth with the bottom row of teeth visible. Three small white teeth are positioned underneath. The background is gray with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
