BBC News - 'Beardless Jesus' found in Spain

Archaeologists in Spain say they have found one of the world's earliest known images of Jesus. It is engraved on a glass plate dating back to the 4th Century AD, reports from Spain say.
The plate is believed to have been used to hold Eucharistic bread as it was consecrated in early Christian rituals. It measures 22cm in diameter and fragments of it were unearthed outside the southern Spanish city of Linares, ABC newspaper reports.
Scientists working for the FORVM MMX project found it inside a building used for religious worship in what remains of the ancient town of Castulo. The find made scientists "review the chronology of early Christianity in Spain", FORVM MMX project director Marcelo Castro told El Mundo newspaper.
The pieces were in an excellent state of preservation - 81% of its original area has now been pieced together by scientists.
In the image, Jesus Christ is flanked by two apostles, believed to be Peter and Paul. "The scene takes place in the celestial orb, framed between two palm trees, which in Christian iconography represent immortality, the afterlife and heaven, among other things," ABC writes.
El Mundo notes that Christ looks very different from later depictions: he has no beard, his hair is not too long and he is wearing a philosopher's toga.

In 1988, three separate Carbon dating tests revealed the Shroud's origins no earlier than the 13th Century. That's 1300 years after the death of Christ. We still don't know.

well Jewish law back in the day prohibited the shaving of the beard or sideburns, part man tingali na sa covenant with God and the Hebrews. Pretty sure Jesus was not a gentile.

Folks, that's approximately 300+ years after his death. In artistic sense, the plate is a unique art piece cuz it's the earliest depiction of Jesus and he's beardless compared to the later depictions. In reality, still no one knows what Jesus exactly looked like.

is it really important for a Christian believer if Jesus does or does not have beard? if it is, then his belief is just a shave away.
