Description
The hair of this character is partially broken. What remains is flat hair falling on the forehead. The facial expression bears the mark of Western influence. The eyebrows are arched and the wide-open, almost bulging eyes give him an worried expression, while the mouth makes a pout. This may be a young donor or a female donor.
