I suppose one could find a chap of similar features, daub him with ochre, have him lie on a similar sized cloth, fold half over him and gently press to obtain an impression, touch up the details with tempura paint, soil the image a bit to give it a bit of patina and appearance of age, and then there would be a similar object.

This would not correspond to the image on the Shroud because:

1) There is no pigment on the Shroud. The yellowed fibers have been "scorched" by some kind of energy.

2) Imagine what an unfolded box would look like compared to a photograph of the front of a box. Using this method, the face would appear to be flattened, because the image would contain orthographic projections of the sides of the head.

3) This image would not be a negative image.

4) This image would not contain an embedded 3D topographic map of a human body.

This would not correspond to the image on the Shroud because:

1) There is no pigment on the Shroud. The yellowed fibers have been "scorched" by some kind of energy. - the scorched theory isn't proven...not to mention the artist who did this already confessed.

2) Imagine what an unfolded box would look like compared to a photograph of the front of a box. Using this method, the face would appear to be flattened, because the image would contain orthographic projections of the sides of the head. - not to mention the folds of sheet that wrapped around the face which can produce a negative 3d image, if there was any un orthodox way of placing a sheet on anyone other than laying down on the face, no matter who it was please describe that technique, gravity works on everyone the same way.

3) This image would not be a negative image. - No different than taking a photo, which produces a negetive image

4) This image would not contain an embedded 3D topographic map of a human body. - a 2 dimensional photo doesn't either.
