Facial mask featuring a delicate face. The fine mouth is projected forward. The nose, composed of a triangle in relief, is framed by two crescent-shaped eyes. The whole is surmounted by a rounded forehead marked by eyebrows in relief. In the center of the eyebrows, a vertical oval relief motif responds to the verticality of the nose.
