This is a nice article.  It included a small image of Jeffrey Vallance's 
"The Clowns of Turin."  Fun stuff.  The links below show the art much 
better.

"However, some people have claimed to have seen "other" images on the Shroud 
such as coins on the eyes, chin bindings, Jewish packets on the forehead 
called "phylacteries" and cryptic words and letters. Researchers believe 
they see specific coins minted by Pontius Pilate placed over the eyes Of the 
shroud man. A group of secondary images caused by burn marks from a fire in 
1532 produced what appear like sinister clown-like faces. Some believe that 
the devil tried to burn the Shroud in 1532, but when this proved 
unsuccessful, he created the scorch marks (that are actually darker than the 
Holy Face) in an attempt to mock the Shroud."
