Text on source
La pettinatura era ben fatta ma scarsa di capelli, imbrata di grasso per cui sembrava bianca o polverizata a guisa delle parrucche del secolo scorso. Aveva molte conterie e molte collane, degli amuletti e delle campanelle pendenti dalla centura, un forte corbaccio in mano, ed ai piedi i nas (sandali).
