The upright elongated figure of a young winged male stands on top of the granite pedestal, holding up a torch symbolising freedom in his raised arms. He is naked apart from a loincloth, with coils of barbed wire around his ankles and falling onto the base below his feet as if he were about to step free from them. It has a two-stepped, square-on-plan stone base, which sits upon an additional three-stepped, square-on-plan stone base, which was added c.2008.
