Hair brushed up from forehead and ears in small independent curls, almost hiding twisted cloth diadem from which rises a top-knot of similar small upright curls. Traces of red and black paint on face and hair. Forehead smooth, but brows contracted over widely opened eyes with round prominent eyeballs. Mouth long and straight, showing upper teeth, which bite on lower lip making long-drawn creases to chin. Large ears sharply pointed; angular dimples in cheeks. Grotesquely fierce effect. Chin to crown 2 3/4 inches. Pl.CXXXII.” [Stein, Serindia (1921), p.1223]
