Three abstract soapstone sculptures, each depicting a stylized human figure in a modernist style. The figures are characterised by elongated, faceless forms with arms that curve forward to embrace a smaller figure against the chest, representing a mother and child motif. The sculptures are carved from solid stone displaying varied natural colouration: one is a pale off-white, one has a pinkish-orange hue, and the third is light grey with distinct dark dendritic mineral veining. Each figure is set upon an integral circular base.

Height: 21 cm.
