The work is surrounded by old signs and boxes in front of an antique shop in Maine. In the foreground is a detailed wooden dragon with wings spread. The figure is standing upright and facing to the right, chained against a wooden plank wall. Around the dragon are weathered signs with faded lettering, including a directional "ANTIQUES" sign. Also visible are various old metal boxes and containers. The scene is taken outside Elmer's Barn antique shop in Coopers Mills, Maine. 1994. Jill Linzee, photograph. (See NA4800.)

Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) (1990-1995) was a nationwide survey that ran from 1990-1995 documenting America’s outdoor sculpture. Established in 1990, SOS! helped educate local communities about America’s endangered sculptural heritage. The Maine Arts Commission was one of 106 organizations to participate in this survey.
