The two headed figure is the ancient Roman god Janus. This is where The word January comes from. He is the ancient Roman god of ending and beginning, or the god of beginning and transition. The two faces represent looking back on the past and ahead to the future.

Or a two faced democrat .................................
Nice bit of info Walter. Thanks
Notice the two heads are not the same.
Wish I had the money to buy the Detonics Janus way back when.
