A bronze sculpture depicts two circular relief surfaces. One shows a winged horse rearing on our left beside three nude human figures; two reach upward toward the right while the third leans against a rock on our right. The other depicts a mountain and small tree on our left beneath a sky of stars. Around the border, inscribed text reads, "THERE IS NO EASY WAY FROM THE EARTH TO THE STARS."
