Bronze colored face and chest with blue beard or chin strap from ear to ear. Eyes, eyebrows, nostrils and mouth are painted (lips are not differenciated). A brown line outlines the ears down the face and chest separating the wig and face, reinforcing the hieroglyph for 'face'. A black rectangle borders the forehead creating almost a collar for the wig, painted blue.
