Folding the Shroud - Done 2 different ways
The first reveals how the shroud was originally stored via the
pattern of the water stains.
The second reveals the Mandylion - the image of Edessa - via the eight
folds discovered by the STRP investigation.
Historian Ian Wilson demonstrates that the Shroud was folded two different ways. Initially, in the first century, it was folded "concertina" style and stored in a jar where water collected and stained the bottom part which was in the water. (Demonstrated in the second half of video below)

Later, it was folded Tetradiplon - a Greek word meaning "folded into 4 parts" which would have left the image of the face on the shroud revealed as in the picture below. CMI demonstrates the folding here but curiously does not see the connection between the folded shroud and the "image of Edessa" aka the Mandylion".
