It is longer than the base piece. There are strips of clay attched across from each other on the cylinder. There is a small donut shaped piece sticking out above one of these. The lower piece and legs are mostly bronze color with black drips running onto it. The upper piece is black with two long thin tan rectangles running vertically.</p><p>The reverse side is identical to one just described.</p><p>A side view shows the bronze glaze with black glaze runs on the lower piece.
