A carved wooden sculpture depicting a vertical stack of three rounded, abstract human figures with discernible heads, torsos, and limbs, set against a neutral background. The figures appear to be fused together, creating a totem-like column on a circular base. The wood has a worn, patinated surface with visible grain and remnants of paint or finish.
