Rising up on a stack of eight cement bricks, each worn at the edges, sits a cement foundation block partly eroded at the top edge where the wooden insert extends up. From this wooden anchor, two rebar rods about four inches tall hold a cement paving stone up vertically. The paving stone has the upper right corner broken off. On this front facing paving stone is a large ceramic shard featuring a skeletal etching of an animal's leg bones.

From this wooden anchor, two rebar rods about four inches tall hold a cement paving stone up vertically. The paving stone has the upper left corner broken off. On this back facing paving stone are large ceramic shards pieced together and featuring the etchings of a horse's skeleton. The shard pieces together suggest the profile of a horse's head.
