The story says the reconstruction is based on “all the skeletal and historical material,” but it’s not clear what that means. Do we actually have his skeleton? How much remains? How early are the surviving artistic depictions? What’s the evidence for the broken nose?

There is an old painted depiction of St. Nicholas, which someone noticed.

Among the features depicted in the saint’s image is a broken nose, which... had “healed asymmetrically, giving him a characteristic nose and rugged facial appearance.”
So THAT's why he developed this quirky habit...
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose...

Based on the photo at the link, St. Nicholas looks to be a foil wrapped piece of candy.

Scientists at a university in Liverpool recently unveiled what they say is the most realistic portrait ever created of St. Nicholas of Myra...Some people, self-important doofuses (artists?) have no clue about the difference between "realistic" and "accurate!"
And, of course, assume that the rest of us are similarly impaired.
