300-year-old statue of Jesus in Mexico has real human teeth
A creepy X-ray image taken of a statue of Jesus in Mexico has revealed that the 300-year-old figure contains real human teeth - and they are all in perfect condition.
The eight teeth were discovered when researchers took the X-ray as part of restoration work on the 'Lord of Patience' statue, believed to have been constructed in the 18th century.
The teeth, which are perfectly formed all the way to the root, are believed to have been donated by worshipers out of gratitude, or as a way to get closer to the religious figure.
They can be seen between the figure's slightly-parted lips and are picked up in the eerie x-Ray image.
Art restorer Fanny Unikel told Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, where the restoration was being carried out, that it is common for statues to have teeth, but explained that they were normally made of wood or bone.
She said: 'It is common for statues to have teeth, but they are normally made of wood or carved individually out of bone. In this case, he has eight adult teeth. You can even see the roots.'
