Why Did Jesus Fold the Cloth That Covered His Face in the Tomb?

So Simon Peter also *came, following him, and he entered the tomb; and he *looked at the linen wrappings lying there, and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings but FOLDED UP in a place by itself. 

—John 20:6-7

So why did Jesus fold up the cloth that covered His face in the tomb? Why did John include this detailed part in the Gospel? The answer may be connected to old Jewish custom in that time.
