The Holy Face is an ancient wooden carving of Jesus crucified. Medieval legends state that it was sculpted by Nicodemus who assisted St. Joseph of Arimathea in placing Christ in his tomb after the crucifixion. The same legends placed its miraculous arrival in Lucca to AD 782. Radiocarbon dating of both wood and canvas places it between 770–880 AD.

Southern Italy, ca. 1075–1100 AD.
