Two hand-carved soapstone sculptures executed in a modernist abstract style. The first piece depicts a single elongated figure in a continuous arched loop, featuring stylized female form and a spherical head, terminating in an integral circular base. The second sculpture represents an entwined group of figures with elongated, fluid limbs, integrated into a rectangular stone base. Both items are carved from a light-coloured natural soapstone containing characteristic reddish-pink and brown mineral inclusions and veining. The carvings are unsigned.
