Description
This warrior wears bristly hair in the form of large flames framing the face, completely smooth at the back of the head. The face is of Western inspiration. Marked by expression wrinkles, one of which crosses the forehead widely, the eyebrows are frowned upon, and the figure sports a worried pout.
