Two amorphous objects are impaled on a rigid rod. This discomforting combination, hinting at sexual imagery while remaining abstract, is reminiscent of the Surrealist sculptures produced in the late 1920s and early 1930s by the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti. Paolozzi had moved to Paris in 1947 and befriended the older artist.
