A painted and glazed ceramic statue piece of a male and female worker riding a gray rocket with colored smoke, candles, and bricked stairs under it. The man is sitting in front and is wearing blue overalls, a blue cap, a blue long sleeve collared shirt, and is holding a yellow extended vertical scribe on his right hand and a white rolled up scribe on his left hand. The woman is wearing beige pants, an orange long sleeve shirt, black shoes and white socks, and a white cap and is holding a yellow bundle of grain on her left hand and a brown sickle on her right hand. The rocket is gray with red inscriptions that are symmetrical on both sides. Under them is smoke with the colors blue, green, yellow, and red spread around in a blowtorch-like appearance, five red, steeping candles, and four black steps with a brick-wall on its side.
