"A facial " (details from "Gnome with a facial sign of a possible cause ") (see related A) Mirabell gardens - Zwerglgarten (Dwarf garden) , Salzburgh, Austria

Among the many companion statuettes depicting "dwarfs" or "gnomes", this lady's facial features are normal in comparison to others'. Furthermore, depicted clearly is a fleshy "mole". In the context of similar "moles" in other companion statuettes, the strong suggestion is that the "mole" is a neurofibroma. Multiple neurofibromas are a sign of the impact of an autosomal dominant mutation resulting in Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) or "peripheral neurofibromatosis". Note that NF-1 is associated with short stature and scoliosis (see companion representations of other dwarfs).
