I was looking through some sheet music when I came across a notehead that looked very odd. It looks like a whole note with two lines on both its sides. Here is an image of the notehead:

This is called a double whole note or breve.
Whereas a whole note is equivalent in duration to four quarter notes, a double whole note is equivalent to eight quarter notes.
We see it often in transcriptions of older music, where the half note is used as the beat value instead of the quarter note. Consider, for instance, this example from Palestrina; also make sure to check out the breve rest!
Note that some modern notation systems only write one bar on either side of the note, but it's still a double whole note.

It's a double whole note, aka breve, and lasts twice as long as a whole note. Eg. in 4/4 it'd count for 2 measures - 8 quarter notes.

Called a breve, it's twice as long as a semibreve - no surprise there! The semibreve is the usual full bar note these days, worth four crotchets.
The surprise is that the word 'breve' actually means short, which makes one wonder what long notes were like in the days of yore.
