The sculpture features a pair of hands in a handshake at the center of a recessed square background. The hands are realistic with rounded cuffs at the wrists. The material is dark, possibly stone, with a uniform gray color. There is a hole or indentation at the top center. The sculpture is bordered by a flat narrow edge and displayed against a light backdrop. The signature "H. BADER" is visible in the bottom left corner.
