Regardless of it’s authenticity, is is, much like the “Shroud of Turin” pretty interesting.

It might also be interesting to put a picture of the “Mandilion” or facial portion of the Shroud next to or superimposed over this mysterious (if not somewhat dubious) image for comparison.

Producing such raised / “3-D” images on sheet metal is a very ancient and fairly simple process which can be accomplished with hand tools. IIRC it’s called “Repousse’”.

I’ve done it; how complicated can it be?

Not buying it. Christ didn't have a potato nose. The History Channel did a computerized reconstruction of Christ's face using the Shroud of Turin. The face from the Shroud is consonant with the depictions of Christ in art throughout the centuries.
