Review (criteria)	Question Is this the only piece remaining? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:33, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply] Comment Subtle question! Initially two distinct elements are required in a diptych. But, by extension, the term also covers a single object showing two characters as a real diptych would do. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply] Mmmm. I understand that for one artwork to be a diptych, the two subjects would need to be separated by a line or something like that. You do realize that that this is an existential question of profound artistic and religious significance etc. etc. etc. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply] @Charlesjsharp: . Information taken on site yesterday: this is part of the diptych, the other is lost. The Italians say Valva in reference to shell water, I don't know how to translate this term for this case into English. I modify the scope. Support thanks.
