Fresco

They are
​fresh from the coiffeur’s hand with hair frisé and curled about
​the head and shoulders; it is confined by a band over the fore-
​head and falls down the back in long separate tresses, twisted
​round with strings of beads and jewels. In some cases the locks
​above the forehead curve down in a curious way above the
​shoulder. The sleeves are puffed, and the constricted girdles and
​flounced skirts equally recall quite modern fashions. A narrow
​band appears across the chest, which suggests a diaphanous
​chemise, but the nipples of the breasts indicated beneath these-
​in one case the pendent breasts themselves- give a décolleté
​effect. The dresses are gaily colored with bands of blue, red,
​and yellow, showing white stripes and at times black striations
​ indicative of reticulated and scaled designs like those of the
​Processional Fresco. (III: 49)
