A circular, rounded wooden form with a pointed tip is placed inside the hole of the fifth square. Two large wooden forks with their teeth broken off are placed opposite one another horizontally above this. To the left, a wooden form articulated with black paint represents a living form. The round area painted black represents a head and two black lines painted on the lower portion of the form represent feet.
