The Januskop on the Kleine Cirkel

A Janus head is an ancient symbol representing opposites. It has a head with two faces, allowing it to look in both directions. Figuratively speaking, it can therefore see both the past and the future. This figurative meaning has come to apply to people. Someone who does not show their true colours, who alternates between showing one face and then another, is regarded as insincere and unpredictable. Charming and ruthless, socially adept, yet interested only in themselves.
Janus is the Roman god of doors and city gates. Literally, this means ‘passage’, implying that he had to be able to look both in front of and behind the gate. Hence the head with two faces. 
In Reusel , the Janus Head stands 32 metres above sea level, right on the watershed between the Scheldt and Meuse river basins. To the north, the water flows via the Raamsloop, the Reusel and the Dommel, eventually reaching the North Sea via the Meuse near Den Bosch. To the south, the water flows via the Wamp and the Nete to the Scheldt, before reaching the North Sea via the Westerscheldt. The female face looks south, whilst the male face faces north. An information board near the Janus Head provides further explanation.
 The concept and design of the Janus Head are by Jan Lavrijsen. The sculpture was created by Ellen van Kroonenburg on commission from the Reusel Local History Working Group. 
Text beneath the female face:
My neighbour, that fool, urinates northwards towards the Meuse
; I don’t really get on with him, but perhaps one
day – you never know – we might actually connect in real life
Text beneath the male face:
As for the woman behind here, it’s worth mentioning
that she urinates into the Nete and the Scheldt; I’m very fond
of her, but the question remains whether my advances have made any difference so far
