and that s mounted onto a metal stand. pegs are inserted into the skull at specific anatomical points, and these indicate the average thickness of tissue that you are going to get, say, there or there or there. neave s skull was rendered into an image by the bbc, and further developed by the artist donato giancola, with the help of neave and biblical scholars. the result is a startling image nothing like the jesus that history has imagined. the nose is quite prominent, and a full mouth, a youngish face, between 30 and 40, i suppose. neave stresses that his jesus head is not the jesus head. at best, it represents a face that jesus himself might have seen or had. and still it attracts debate. i ve had one or two comments
