Now, it often happens that, as in the last example given, the animal form, literally rendered, does not fill the panels satisfactorily. The head and the tail do not correspond and there is a lack of balance. In such cases two heads have been preferred.

The two headed form may also arise from imitation of plastic forms, as I have already shown. The example given
