Hand-carved wooden sculpture composed of a vertical anthropomorphic figure with two carved heads connected by an elongated neck above a central torso. Projecting carved elements extend from either side of the body, and the surface is finished with stain, varnish, and wax that reveal the wood grain and tool marks.

A hand-carved wooden sculpture organized as a vertical anthropomorphic composition. An elongated neck supports two simplified heads positioned at opposite ends, while a central torso incorporates projecting carved elements and rounded forms that create an asymmetrical silhouette. The sculpture balances stacked volumes with open negative space, encouraging changing views from multiple angles. Stain, varnish, and wax enhance the natural grain of the wood while preserving carved tool marks, faceted surfaces, and subtle evidence of hand construction.
