A Roman or possibly Hellenistic double-headed Janus-type bust, composed of two different heads, a satyr and a soldier or warrior. The warrior wears a helmet with cheek-pieces meeting at the chin and a torque necklace. The grinning satyr has a beard divided into two and a moustache. The surface is worn. The nose on the helmeted head is partly broken off. The sculpture may possibly date to the 18th century, but following ancient types.
