There are eye slits and double lined brows which join up to make a long thin nose. Two relatively large rectangles flank the sides of the face at this point. They are also textured like the horns. Two roughly triangular points extend from the bottom of them. There is a protruding rectangular mouth with teeth and a long pointed chin. |
