Re: Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes
Looks like wax. Also check the nose in the first photo then the rest of them. Looks totally different. After the first pic the nose is pointy kinda.

Re: Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes
says in that information something about making a wax impression for the face, since the darkening of it could distress people or some shit. At this point, a precise imprint of the face was molded so that the firm of Pierre Imans in Paris could make a light wax mask based on the imprints and on some genuine photos. This was common practice for relics in France, as it was feared that although the body was mummified, the blackish tinge to the face and the sunken eyes and nose would make an unpleasant impression on the public. |

Re: Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes
Seems just as well her face is covered by a mask to hide the signs of discolouration. Interesting thread ;) |
