Photograph of a small stone-carved head displaying the features of Jupiter-Ammon, which is to say a bearded male face with curly hair and ram's horns. He looks to the left, but one can just make out that the back of his head carries a second face looking the other way. Photograph of a small stone-carved head displaying the features of Bacchus, which is to say a somewhat androgynous beardless face with hair in ringlets and held in place with a headband. He looks to the right but one can just make out that the back of his head carries a second face looking the other way.
