(Similar portraits of two other apostles were uncovered, thought to be Saints John and James the Elder, but no photos have been released yet).
Below, detail of St. Peter's head from Michelangelo's 1550 fresco of
The Crucifixion of Peter
in the newly-restored Pauline Chapel at the Vatican:
The iconography of both Saints Peter and Paul appears to have been established pretty well by the 3rd-4th century when the Tecla portraits were done. (See photos in the banner strip above for this post).
