mosaics at hagia sophia

Is that an arched eyebrow on Jesus? Even his mustache is arched.


A bit more feeling in this one:


The 19th century restorers of some of the frescoes painted medallions rather than faces on the angels, since hagia sophia was at that time still used as a mosque. But from the ground it really looks more like you're looking at a bird's ass.
