Summary:
Abstract sculpture resembling a rounded, bell-shaped top hat. The top is spherical, but tapers down and inward and then curves outward again. At this point it begins to round, creating a spherical bottom. The height of the middle ridge form dividing the spherical bottom from the top is uneven, giving a wave-like appearance to the outward curving bottom. The sculpture is placed on a circular granite paver, atop a concrete base. The northwest and southeast corners of the base have small "wings" jutting off of them that incorporate seating areas on either side of the sculpture. The ledges created in the base echo the limestone formations of the nearby creek bed. The entire arrangement is partially surrounded by flower beds.
