The effects of the {sup 57}Fe isotope content and high-frequency magnetic field amplitude h{sub 1} on the shape of the NMR spectrum of multiferroic BiFeO{sub 3} at T = 4.2 K are studied by pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance. The NMR spectrum shape and transverse relaxation time T{sub 2} are found to depend strongly on the {sup 57}Fe isotope content and h{sub 1} in multiferroic BiFeO{sub 3} in the presence of a spatial spin-modulated structure of a cycloid type. In a sample with a high {sup 57}Fe isotope content, the Suhl-Nakamura interaction contributes substantially to T{sub 2}. When these dynamic effects are taken into account for analysis of the NMR spectrum shape, an undisturbed (without an anharmonicity effect) spatial spin-modulated structure of a cycloid type is shown to exist in BiFeO{sub 3}.
