The sculpture is of a human hand with a clenched fist. It is crafted from a material that appears to be plaster. The surface is matte white with subtle grayish tones and signs of weathering. The sculpture is lifelike and based on the size of an average human hand. The textures and contours of the hand are well-defined, depicting a realistic clenched fist.
