It is pigmented with green, its thin lips are highlighted with red accentuating the whiteness of its teeth with long and pointed incisors. His nose is in strong relief, his nostrils openwork, as well as his eyes with globular and bright red pupils. His eyebrows, beard and hair are drawn with black pigments.

It is probably Klana, a solitary dancer, associated with evil.
