The main sculpture is an S-shaped sheet of copper with letters carved through it,
like a waving flag with the flagpole being a large petrified tree. Closest to the tree
is a "page" containing the cipher, and another page away from the tree has a
KRYPTOS-keyed tableau cut through from the other side.
