Description

Two stone heads stand on square plinths against a dark background. The larger head on the left has deeply carved, wavy hair framing a calm face with heavy-lidded eyes and a small mouth. The smaller head on the right has tightly curled hair piled high, and its neck is cut off short; each plinth carries a printed number label.
