The following exceprt is from:
http://40.1911encyclopedia.org/T/TA/TAMILS.htm

"The Tamils proper are smaller and of weaker build
than Europeans, though graceful in shape. Their physical appearance is described as
follows:—a pointed and frequently hooked pyramidal nose, with conspicuous nares,
more long than round; a marked sinking in of the orbital line, producing a strongly defined
orbital ridge; hair and eyes black; the latter, varying from small to middle-sized, have a
peculiar sparkle and a look of calculation; mouth large, lips thick, lower jaw not heavy;
forehead well-formed, but receding, inclining to fiattish, and seldom high; beard
considerable, and often strong; colour of skin very dark, frequently approaching to black"

pointed nose?
