The figure is engraved on a glass plate dating back to the 4th Century AD, according to Spanish reports. He is flanked by two apostles, believed to be Peter and Paul. The scene is striking because Jesus looks very different from later depictions - he has no beard, short, curly hair and is wearing what appears to be a philosopher's toga.

Albino versions existed here and there up until the colonial movement but I assume those werent taken seriously at all, the colonial version during the reconquista was when the actual iconic brainwashing one appeared.
