There is another suggestion about why there was no face: with a face, it could attract all the bad spirits in the house as well as it could WATCH. That is, it was not a toy, as they say here, but rather one important part of the house. Has she had a face, she would be some kind of a living thing already - and even these days Russians are quite supersticious. And obviously women could not really paint beautiful faces anyway.
