<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4320914, member: 5833"]When it comes to descriptions of the position of heads/busts, have never seen 'conjoined' used in the literature about engraved gems. One in front of the other = jugate. Facing each other = confronted. Back to back, often with backs of heads touching, = janate (like Janus) Only the frames connect these two; you could say the frames are conjoined if you were writing a detailed description.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
