diptych
Two-panel artwork
A diptych is a two-paneled artwork, originally a hinged pair of wooden tablets used in ancient times for writing.
In art, it refers to a painting or carving on two hinged panels that fold together like a book: a medieval diptych of the Annunciation.
The term extends to any two-part creative work meant to be considered together: The director's films function as a diptych exploring immigration.
