A young, beardless face, well-formed face with prominent eyebrows.
The hair is extremely curled in this example and are shaped like the shells of snails. There are two rows of curls, placed symmetrically either side of a central curl, which continue down onto the sides of the face in front of the ears.
The eye sockets, nostrils and between the lips have been broken through the metal.
