This sculpture is made with a dark grey, smooth, matte stone. It depicts a person with two faces; the first is on the head of the figure at the top of the sculpture. The second face is located on the posterior of the sculpture in the middle of the back. Both faces bear neutral facial expressions. The sculpture does not have arms or legs, favouring an amorphous body type.
