Visual Summary

Brief Description

Line drawing of a wide-eyed face with furrowed brows, spiraled hair, and a lotus-like headdress

Detailed Description

A black and white line drawing depicts a close-up, head-and-shoulders view of a figure. The face is broad with wide, round eyes that have small, dark pupils. The eyebrows are thick and heavily furrowed, creating deep lines on the forehead. The nose is broad and rounded, and the mouth is downturned with two small fangs protruding from the lower lip. The cheeks are full, and lines indicate a double chin or neck folds. The hair is rendered as a mass of tight, concentric spirals that frame the face. On top of the head, a stylized lotus flower with multiple petals forms a prominent headdress. On the figure's right side, a long braid of hair, intricately woven and adorned with two lotus-like ornaments, hangs down past the ear. A similar, though less detailed, ornament is visible on the figure's left shoulder. The drawing uses strong, consistent black lines against a light, uncolored background, with no shading or color variation.
