Hey there! To shape the eyes, I took some kitchen scissors and snipped the end of the dough down the middle, about 1-2 cm. A regular knife or a pizza cutter should also do the trick if you have either of those.

Roman historical sources have reported on the exploits of the women warriors of the Sassanian Empire (224-651 AD). Zonaras (XII, 23, 595, 7-596, 9) states in reference to the forces of Shapur I that:

“…in the Persian army…there are said to have been found women also, dressed and armed like men…””
