DescriptionTonsured and haloed San Pasqual stands with a spatula in his proper left hand behind a table bearing a number of foods including corn and chiles. He wears a brown robe and a large blue apron. Under the table is a cat, and a dog (or teddy bear) begs at his feet. The sun shines over his shoulder, and a bird sits on a branch on his other side.
