Set on an oval base with relief ground imitating uneven road surface, the sculptural composition depicts slowly plodding oxen yoked to a wagon laden with hides. A young ox-cart driver lies on the wagon. Propped up on one arm, he gazes into the distance across the endless steppe with a sense of imperturbable calm.
