A Push-Me-Pull-You has a head on each end, which this piece is used to illustrate. Two opposing llama heads would be most accurate, but I don't think we have any llama pieces. Someone has made a Push-Me-Pull-You piece that combines two images sometimes used for the Withdrawer and the Advancer in Rococo, but no one has made an SVG version of this piece.

I'll need to get a copy of the actual novel, but the Wikipedia article on it describes it as a "gazelle/unicorn cross" for the book; the Rex Harrison film uses the double-llama adaptation.

With that in mind, I certainly can add a Gazelle, a Llama, and a Pushmi-Pullyu to my SVG set.

Edit: I include the last part of that, realizing that you're referring specificially to the Alfaerie SVG.
