Ceramic sculpture has a composition of two wheels connected by an axel that has characteristics of prickly pear cactus stems (Nopales). The wheel's spokes and interior rim are painted yellow and green on one side and yellow and brown on the other. The exterior tread of the wheels are flat with black glossy finish. A conical spoke appears at each end. The axel between the two wheels appears in the form of a yellow cactus with three flat round segments. White pointed spines are concentrated on the center segment with fewer appearing on the outer segments. The sculpture is attached to a wooden base with a groove for holding a vitrine.
