In Mayhew’s words: “It is a Janus sculpture, with two fronts.”

Exhibited at Venice Biennale 1964; also at the Federation of Canadian Artists 1967 Centennial B.C. Sculpture Exhibition, in Vancouver. Rothmans of Pall Mall purchased the sculpture from this exhibition, and donated it to Simon Fraser University later that year. The two other Janus pieces are Princess and Kin.
