The thing on the head being in front of the opening as opposed to in it is really bothering me
Edit: the more I look at this, the more ridiculous it gets. That man went and ripped his pants. Also, am I the only one that sees Steve Buscemi?
The two figures in the back also have the circles around their head, and the one on the poor fella is clipping his hair. I'm going to assume this is not original
I stand corrected
Edit 2: I can't stop staring. The wooden legs don't match (I can't see any way of them being angled the same), and apparently if you take those skinny ass shoes off you get big toes the whole way down. Also, where are his nipples? My man in red has his chin behind his shoulder. Some sort of cremortionist
It's a halo. Are people unaware of what halos are?
They get depicted pretty differently in old art than they do in pop culture.
This style of halos appear a lot in stained glass windows and those are in movies and tv shows often enough that most people have probably seen some.
That's quite the assumption
It's also in the opening scene of Monty Python's Life of Brian

Yes, I am unaware that the solid object matching the wall was a halo. I had already thought of that but I have never seen one drawn in this way
Edit: Looks like using the wall texture as a halo was in fact a thing
(IMPOSSIBLE)
Big bonus points to anyone who legit updates that Wiki caption
Holy human pizza.
Have we explored the idea that they are pulling him out of the oven?
The martyrium of St.Veit, Museum Belvedere, Austria.
cremortionist hath slain me.
can't unsee the circle thing
I can't figure out what it is. It matches the wall the other two are against
It's a halo. He is a saint in Christianity.
Of course, the old solid wood halos!
Originally halos depicted either a disk or escaping rays of light surrounding the head of the "holy person" in question, so people know who the good guy was and you're not supposed to cheer for the cremation or whatever.
Thank you for the explanation! Today I learned
