Subject Matter:

(Abstract, organic shape. Meaning of title is unclear. Perhaps taken from an anagram.)

Physical Description:

Hollow glass piece. The bottom half (whose end is flat and thus serves as a base) is a solid spring green separated by a band of translucent yellow. The top half is a darker olive green with a Kelly green stripe that winds from the yellow band at center to the hole at this end of the piece.
