Well, if you look at an artist's rendition of North American Natives,
from the 16th century, it's surprising how Northern European they look.
Either there was more contact between Eastern NA and Western Europe than
normally contenceced, or you paint what you know...

Thanks Steve,
That's the icon I remember frm my youth.
The church/parish I grew up in was named Divine Infant.
Seeing Franks picture, and knowing more about the middle east now,
I was struck by how northern european those faces looked.

If you zoom in on the orb, it appears to have a cross shaped stopper,
which would make this a flask of chrism, i.e., the holy hand grenade.
The "Infant Jesus of Prague" is the most common image of flask.

My only defense of all this is that I'm still waiting for the coffee to
brew ,. . .

Gotta know your religious symbolism knarF.
That globe in his hand means it's baby Jesus.
Funny, he doesn't look like any Jewish kid I know.
