Description
This musician has a soft, idealized face and straight, medium-length hair. He seems to have a double goitre, unless it is a decoration or an object worn around his neck. He wears a garment with the sleeves rolled up at the elbows, leaving his forearms bare, and plays an hourglass-shaped tambourine.
