So this is a second head covering rather than a shroud?

No this is Veronica’s Veil. As Christ was carrying the crucifix and being lashed and driven by the Roman soldiers she emerged from the crowd with a piece of cloth and wiped his face off of the sweat and blood leaving this image. She was made a saint.

That is the way I read it. I do know that when a Jewish body was laid in a tomb it was placed on a long piece of cloth that was then folded from the top of the head down to the feet. Then a second cloth was placed over the head to hold down the shroud. When the Disciples went into the tomb they found it empty and the head cloth had been folded and placed on the stone where Jesus had laid. So there were two cloths. There is some history about the face cloth being displayed over a gate in Constantinople. See “The Blood and the Shroud” by Ian Wilson.

No, that's thought to be in Spain, in the Cathedral in Oviedo. This is Veronica's Veil. . . a third cloth associated with the trip from the trial to the Cross. It is not Biblical but traditional.
