A male figure wearing a short classical tunic, with wings strapped to his outstretched arms. He stands on a globe which is placed on a drum-shaped plinth. The design (a stickman with wings standing on top of a globe) was the result of a local schools competition run by Scottish Enterprise. Scott Associates were approached to make the winning design into the final sculpture which was then cast by a foundry. The figure measures 244 cm in height.
