An artwork featuring a red and yellow sunset in the background. The red section is in the shape of the Sydney Opera House. Below this is a landscape painted in stripes of green. In front of this are fourteen sawn-off branches fixed into holes in a red ochre board. The branches are painted black and have yellow ends. The box in which they are placed is painted yellow on the outside and has clam shells attached to its surface. In front of this on the right is a brass fireplace screen with a low-relief of a sailing ship on the sea with a lighthouse on a headland. A shelf in front of this has four metal brackets, which attach statues of an Indigenous man and woman.
