About this object
Physical description
Stone carving of two separate figures that join into a common being below the chest. The left figure is slightly larger, with an elongated head and relatively well defined features carved into the face. Two arms start at the rear of the figure below the neck and wrap around both sides to the front. The smaller figure to the right also has a slightly elongated head. Much of the face has been obliterated, with the mouth and right eye remaining, as well as two ears that are carved into the sides of the head. This figure also has arms beginning at the back below the head and wrapping around to the front on both sides. The figures sit on a thick oval base carved out of the same piece of stone.
