Description
This middle-aged Brahman has a moustache and a shaved chin. His hair is long and slightly wavy, folded over the top of his head in a bun that falls forward like a novice's lock. His eyebrows are furrowed and his eyes are sunken: his expression is worried and tormented.
Observations
Barthoux referred to this physical type as a "moustached barbarian".
