The facial features were most likely painted at a later time.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="_dda3618c _e7500b49" data-tn="pdp-item-description-content"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Height</span></span></span></span></strong><span class="_dda3618c _e7500b49" data-tn="pdp-item-description-content"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> 9&quot; (23cm)&nbsp; </span><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Pair &euro;750</span></strong></span></span></span></p>
