The thing on the head

It's a halo. Are people unaware of what halos are?

They get depicted pretty differently in old art than they do in pop culture.

This style of halos appear a lot in stained glass windows and those are in movies and tv shows often enough that most people have probably seen some.

It's also in the opening scene of Monty Python's Life of Brian

Yes, I am unaware that the solid object matching the wall was a halo. I had already thought of that but I have never seen one drawn in this way

Edit: Looks like using the wall texture as a halo was in fact a thing
