Talisman is one of many sculptures on the beautiful grounds of the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, In the spring and summer months the gardens are in full bloom with vibrant colors, and visitors enjoy strolling through the property and seeing the sculptures.
Talisman is red, and has two components. One piece looks like a gate, and the other looks like a V on its side, pushed through the gate opening. Together, the two pieces resemble a giant wheelbarrow frame. The piece touches the ground in three points: the two ends of the "gate" piece, and the tip of the "V" piece.
