However, I wonder what was the appearance of the warlike and indomitable Rousseau? Sources that can tell you more about these features abound. Now you can try to highlight some of the generalized description of the appearance of ancient Slavs.

According to some sources, Russo was typical to wear jackets, a style which was similar to the upper clothes of the Bulgars and the Khazars. Adult men prefer wide trousers. For sewing each leg of this cut had 100 cubits consumable matter. Also in fashion was the wide gold chunky bracelets that are preferred to wear a strong half. The ancient Slavs wore hats from a genuine beast with the hanging in the neck of the tail.

If you take for example the external characteristic of the Russian–Scandinavian warriors, you can find the following facts: according to the testimony of one of the Hungarian monk Julian known that in the 11th century in Russia men have grown rich beard and a shaved bald head.

Their bodies are made and they are covered with various murals depicting trees branched (presumably this tattoo of the tree of Life).
