Marble two-sided relief
A carved marble relief shows two heads in profile on a pale rectangular slab. The left head is youthful with thick curling hair, while the right is a bearded older man with wild, wavy locks and a deeply modeled face. A small coiled form rises between them at the bottom.
Look closer: A small coiled serpent-like form rises between the two heads at the base of the relief.
