One medical historian notes that until approximately A.D. 140 circumcision was accomplished by placing a slotted metal shield near the tip of the foreskin after the foreskin was pulled foreward by the operator. Subsequently the small amount of skip at the tip of the foreskin was incised above the shield, swiftly and relatively painlessly with a sharp knife and removed, leaving virtually the entire inner layer of the prepuce intact over the glans. Thsi process was referred to as Bris Milah, and is thought by some to be accurately depicted by Michelangelo Buanorrati's sculpture of King David, who appears on casual inspection to be uncircumcised. Over time, however, the amount of foreskin removed during ritual neotnatal circumcision increased, possibly in response to confusion regarding the cirmcumcision status of the infant, child, or adolescent by religious or secular authorities, when ascertained by casual visual inspection, in order to distinguish Jews from Gentiles. The removal of larger amounts of foreskin during circumcision, referred to as Bris Periah, leaves the glans fully exposed and very little of the inner layer of the prepuce intact."
