The sculpture depicts a set of andirons, used to support logs in a fireplace. It features a vertical post with a spherical finial at the top and two symmetrical scroll-like decorations descending the central post. The lower part consists of three curved legs with floral motifs at the central junction. The piece is likely made of cast iron, showing intricate detailing. The color is a dark gray, typical of aged metal. The andirons would likely stand about a foot tall, standard for fireplace tools on a hearth.
