The face, imbued with great interiority, is characterized by perfectly curved eyebrows meeting above an aquiline nose, long tapered almond-shaped eyes with wide half-open eyelids, formerly inlaid.

The head is covered with large curls, a fine band delimiting the hair. The usnisa (cranial protuberance) formerly surmounted by a high rasmi, the neck presenting the three classic folds of beauty
