The head painted in white is well modelled with a fierce expression and a large domed forehead. The mouth is closed, his bulging eyes reveal black glass pupils within the deep sockets below a furrowed brow. The hair is rolled in segments at the hairline and pulled up into a topknot. The lips are painted in dark red, and the brows, moustache and beard are detailed in black against the stark white skin. The other is also well modelled in brownish-red with a scowling, theatrical expression and a large domed forehead. He has bulging eyes inlaid with black glass pupils below bushy eyebrows. A wispy beard, mustache and eyebrows are detailed in black against a brownish-red complexion. The hair is drawn up into a top-knot and his mouth wide open in a threatening shout.
