Description

A flat, circular, silver metal plate is attached to the top of tall steel beam. Four shapes have been cut out of the metal plate in order to form a face, with two triangles cut out to represent eyes, a third triangle to represent a nose, and a semi-circle to represent a widely smiling mouth. Attached to the back of this face are several chains hanging freely down the rest of the structure. Approximately halfway down the primary steel beam, a planter hanger is attached and affixed to the planter is a small helmet. Two chain are hooked and draped across the center of the structure.
