Facial Characteristics

Some notes on facial characteristics of the Matlese

.

Women show up better than men who are less pronounced in characteristic features. Few with blond hair. Come very mixed types. High cheek bones and prominent chin, sensual mouth. Hair styles varied. Some like Negro style. Few hats worn. Some locals Mongolian looks. Age quickly young boys very advanced in looks but soon age. Latin types not much in evidence. Somewhat Jewish in looks, curved nose, dark eyes and black hair probably showing Phoenician strain rather than European.
