The Antique Catholic Image of the Ecce Homo (or the Image of Jesus Christ when he was brought by Pontius Pilate to be seen by the public right after he had him whipped), which was Ferdinand Magellan's gift to the King of Cebu, Rajah Humabon, upon his conversion to Christianity, made its historic return to Cebu, on August 20, 2011, after more than 40 years of staying at Intramuros, Manila:

Here is an old picture of the Ecce Homo (circa 1965), you can see that he is wearing a crown of thorns, and he has no color. That's because when he arrived in Intramuros, Manila, they decided to change his look; the crown of thorns was removed and his wounds were fixed, and metal Tres Potencias, or rays of light, were added above his head. They also put color on his image. This is his original look when Ferdinand Magellan gave him to Rajah Humabon:
