Why is Michaelangelo's Statue of David NOT curcumsized?

because Michaelangelo did not have a Jewish model, and apparently he was ignorant of the covenant.

Michaelangelo was Italian, not Jewish.

You don't get too many circumcised ***** in sculpture. It's probably too rude. Lets face it, The foreskin affords a little modesty.

circumcision in Europe is mainly practiced by Jews. Especially in those days.
