Novelty Wall Clock. Jesus would you look at the time

Product Information

He is the most painted figure in all of Western art, recognised everywhere as having long hair and a beard, a long robe with long sleeves (often white) and a mantle (often blue). What has happened over time is that this visualisation of heavenly Christ - today sometimes remade along hippie lines - has become our standard model of the early Jesus. With variations of clock image macros, the image macro (or the phrase as a standalone) has also been used as a prompt for the thread topic or as an early warning before dumping content similar to Goofy Time and in some cases, as a method of threadjacking, or intentionally derailing from the original thread topic.

Overall a man in Jesus's world would wear a knee-length tunic, a chiton, and a woman an ankle-length one, and if you swapped these around it was a statement. He is the heavenly ruler of all the world, familiar from the famous statue of long-haired and bearded Olympian Zeus on a throne - a statue so well-known that the Roman Emperor Augustus had a copy of himself made in the same style (without the godly long hair and beard). That Jesus was a Jew (or Judaean) is certain in that it is found repeated in diverse literature, including in the letters of Paul. In the desert caves close to the Dead Sea and Masada, sandals from the time of Jesus have come to light, so we can see exactly what they were like. In 2001 forensic anthropologist Richard Neave created a model of a Galilean man for a BBC documentary, Son of God, working on the basis of an actual skull found in the region.

These tunics would often have coloured bands running from the shoulder to the hem and could be woven as one piece. It has a hanger on the back to it can be put up on the wall together with a spacer that makes it float away from the actual wall.

On top of the tunic you would wear a mantle, a himation, and we know that Jesus wore one of these because this is what a woman touched when she wanted to be healed by him (see, for example, Mark chapter 5, verse 27). The macro consists of a clock with numbers replaced by a word or image and is most commonly used as a warning before flooding the thread with the said content. However, images of Jewish men on Judaea Capta coins, issued by Rome after the capture of Jerusalem in 70AD, indicate captive men who are bearded.
