Forgive me for this is not a critique.
Had to google Sallman head. And then I understood.
And 100% agree. I remember reading something college written by a Native American, where he was essentially laughing at the visual many people have of Jesus as a really white, blond Caucasian. He notes Jesus was a Jew, and likely had dark hair and skin like him. I am sure this is true.
As a kid, this view of Jesus always bugged me but I couldn't put on finger on why until later. And your latest revision is a nice, artful way to express that. Just wanted to express that I appreciated it.
Although on more reading. I don't like role model as much as the rest, would consider perhaps "...framed complete with.." Or similar.
