I didn't watch the video, but I remember in the book "Constantine's Sword" that the earliest Christians did not like "the cross." They instead preferred images of "The Good Shepherd" with Jesus carrying a sheep on his shoulders. I think they found these in the catacombs outside Rome.

You've described one of the earliest images in the video. Most of the early images of Jesus in the video are shown without a beard and with short hair.
