The horizontal crossbar is decorated with a sun face on the right and a crescent moon face on the left. A set of suspended balance scales with fine chain links hangs below the center. Additional symbolic elements include a ladder on the left, a winged angelic figure on the right, and a serpent coiling upward around the central post. The assembly is secured with hand-hammered rivets and terminates in a scrolling V-shaped frame at the base. Unsigned. 30" H x 19" W.
