All four faces have circular black pupils and eyes surrounded by a green area with upside down red split u's above. All have red nostrils and open red mouths showing even rows of teeth, except for the face in the middle that has black inside the mouth. The main central head has open hands at either side with ovoid eye palms and red fingers. The bodies of the side heads which come up and around to encircle the face in the middle have green dashed scales and black dashed bodies. The two side heads connect together at the upper front fang. In black, at the bottom right corner, there reads 'DOUBLE HEADED SERPENT / ROY-j-HANUSE / '70'. The painting is on a horizontally rectangular, light yellow paper piece.
