Content (description)
The herm head is viewed from the side, so that both heads are in profile. Facing left is a youthful head with hair arranged in ringlets on the forehead and over the ears beneath a laurel wreath. Facing right is the head of an old male, his hair brought forward beneath an ivy wreath. Fillets fall from the ends of each wreath on to their shoulders.
