The face is broad, with a big nose, a small mouth and a marked chin with a dimple. The hair is done in waves, ending in several rows of different small curls, among which corkscrew-curls. On top of the head, twisted strands of hair are tied to a B-shaped knot. The ears are free and wear earrings, consisting of rings with three small balls stringed onto them.
