Description: The form of a person behind bars is represented with a painted black, square wooden box. This box is mounted onto a vertically oriented, rectangular piece of wood. Within the frame of the wooden box is a wooden form that represents the profile of a standing human figure. A wooden peg represents his eye. This human profile is set in front of a vertical, rectangular wooden form of similar size, painted white. The head of a metal pitch fork punctures through the lower wall of the frame of the box, extending across the box and curving over and away from the box’s edges. Its prongs jut out from the top of the upper edge of the box and the neck of the rake pokes through the lower edge of the box. The rake’s metal prongs represent the metal bars of a jail cell.
