The sculpture shows a warrior in a contra post with his head slightly bent towards the ground and his arms in a straight position upwards. He is holding a person who seams dead and who’s body form an inverted “U”. Both men are naked and the only accessory is the helmet the standing man is wearing. It was intended that the work should be a part of a larger group, The Arch of Life, in the part of the portal where the theme is “The fight”. The work of art is connected to the Scandinavian variant of symbolism as it was used by contemporaries vitalist’s who were inspired by the Greek ancient culture.
