The sculpture is in the form of a boomerang. It is dark-colored and made of a textured material like wood or stone. The boomerang has a symmetrical design with a central segment that extends into two elongated, curved arms tapering towards their ends. It features triangular cutouts throughout its structure. The sculpture is laid flat, and a plan or blueprint of its design is included, providing a top-down view and scale for reference. The blueprint outlines the shape and sections of the boomerang with precise, measured lines, indicating its dimensions in relation to the drawn scale.
