content: Design for a white polyhedron rostral column articulated with abstract designs in red, yellow and blue, and interrupted with three successive basin-like forms that appear to run through the post. The top of the column is surmounted by a ribbed ball structure and the base is articulated with three plaques, upon which the numbers "27", "28", and "29" are written. The whole structure rests on a plinth with tripartite divisions, with a marbleized red or green geometric form on each section.
