The face on the center is in profile facing right, heavily wrinkled with a large nose and a long, pronounced jaw, white lines cascade down the back and a gold earring hangs from the ear. The mountain on the right has the face of young woman wearing a gold tiara, chain and locket. The head is slightly raised, the eyes look to the left.
