I have a hard time seeing any beard on the figure though. Am I looking at it wrong?
It depends on how one looks it it. It's a lot like that picture of vases that also look like faces depending on whether you look at the negative or positive space.
If you interpret the yellow part as a hat, for example, then the "finger" lines coming out of the cheeks could be mutton chop sideburns and the part at the bottom could be a chin beard.
If, however, if you look at the yellow part as hair, then the parts at the bottom look more like clothing, like a rolled collar or something like that.
And... it's also possible it's neither hat nor hair but the fact that there's something resembling beads or curls on the forehead suggests it might be an anthropomorphic face.
