Description
This dishevelled demon has a deformed, monstrous human face. The eyes are asymmetrical, the nose twisted and the mouth deformed. The whole right side of the face is as if it were slumped and crushed.
Observations
This particular facial deformity is very similar to those of patients affected by Cloves syndrome.
