Bob Speel’s sculpture site (speel.me.uk) explains that “the double bust” is situated “at one corner of the Square so that one bust faces inwards, one outwards from the gardens. . . . The elegant stone structure supporting the sculpture is” by the architect Edwin Lutyens. The staff and coiled snake on the side indicates her medical career.”
