The herm head is viewed from the side, so that each head is shown in profile. Facing left is a short-haired youth with his mouth open and his teeth showing, a drape in shallow relief on his chest. Facing right is a bearded old man with longish hair. A fillet falls down the side of the neck from behind the ear of each figure.
