Twin boys
The sculpture depicts two babies. One baby is kneeling on all fours. This baby has a shaved head with one tuft of hair combed over to the side. The baby holds a ring in one hand. The second baby is on top. His legs are straddling the kneeling baby's back. The top baby's right leg is bent with the sole of the foot facing out. The second baby holds a similar ring in his left hand. Both babies have a similar complexion. They have etched designs on their bodies, with one having a red design. The background fades from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The artist is unknown but the title is given as "Twin boys".
