A champlevé enamel panel which forms part of the altar in the Klosterneuburg monastery, near Vienna, was completed no later than 1181 by Nicholas of Verdun (1130–1205)[WI08; WI10, 182]. As can be seen below, Jesus is depicted on it having been wrapped in a longer

Yet this was at least 79 years before the earliest 1260 radiocarbon date of the Shroud[DP89, 611], and ~174 years before the Shroud first appeared in undisputed history at Lirey, France, in c. 1355[WI10, 222]!].
