The [[Sudarium of Oviedo]] is a bloodstained cloth, measuring {{cvt|84 × 53|cm}}, curated in the [[Cámara Santa, Oviedo|Cámara Santa]] of the [[Cathedral of San Salvador (Oviedo)|Cathedral of San Salvador]], [[Oviedo]], Spain.<ref>Michael McDonnell (2007). ''Lost Treasures of the Bible''. {{ISBN|1-84753-316-7}}. page 31.</ref> The Sudarium ([[Latin]] for "sweat cloth") is purportedly the cloth wrapped around the head of [[Jesus Christ]] after he died, noted in the [[Gospel of John]] (20:6–7).<ref>{{Bibleverse|John|20:6–7|NIV}}</ref>

The Sudarium is soiled and crumpled, with dark flecks that are symmetrically arranged but do not form an image as with the Shroud of Turin. Proponents for the relic's authenticity, such as Vatican archivist Msgr Giulio Ricci,<ref>{{harvnb|Ruffin|1999|p=47}}</ref> contend that both cloths covered the same man.
