What did Othello look like?

The appearance of Othello is not explicitly described in Shakespeare's play "Othello." However, there is a reference in Act 1, Scene 1, where Roderigo calls Othello "the thicklips." This suggests that Othello may have had full or prominent lips, which was often used as a derogatory remark towards black people during that time.
