Finding Home #81 (Fereshteh) Leah and Rachel

Artist name: Benjamin Siona

A two-headed Leah, having disguised herself as Rachel in order to marry Jacob, dances on two swords; she wears a tie, a male symbol.  Rachel has a triangle on her hand, a symbol of the feminine.  She dances on broken glass. They are connected, having one arm in common and strings from their prayer shawls that tie them together.
