Located in the Tate Britain, this 1957 bronze sculpture is by Kenneth Armitage (1916-2002).
The Museum's hours are 10.00–18.00, Saturday–Thursday
10.00–22.00, every Friday.

The Museum's webpage (visit link) for the work describes it thusly:

"Diarchy’ is government by two people, for example a king and queen. Here, the torsos of the two figures are melded together in one rectangular slab of bronze, with only their heads and limbs standing free.
The rough surface of the bronze suggests weathering, as if the sculpture has been worn down over centuries. Its rigidity and monumental scale give it a mysterious authority."
