Ceramic square tiles with coat of arms designs are aligned into a 4×4 square formation within the grout. Filling the remaining circular space are small turquoise and yellow Italian glass tiles. Attached to the mid-point of the tree stump base is a ram’s horn with two plastic eyes with eyelashes attached, representing an animal that is poking its head from within the tree trunk.
