Still life of two wooden sculptures displayed side by side on wooden plinths. The sculpture on the left resembles a shovel with a large rounded base, an elongated neck, head with a face, and a bowl atop the head. The sculpture on the right features a long, rectangular face with geometric features: arched eyes, a triangular nose, a wide toothy smile, and a bulbous chin, with strands of hair-like material emerging from the top.
