DescriptionObverse: A depiction of the Holy Pilgrimage with three figures. Two pilgrims on the left wear contemporary clothing including baseball caps, t-shirts, shorts, and running shoes; the pilgrim to the left crosses his arms over his chest and is holding a cell phone; the pilgrim on the right is carrying a cross. Jesus faces them at the right; he has a halo and is wearing a headband, t-shirt, and shorts. His arms are tattooed, and he is holding a can. They stand in a landscape of low hills that is littered with garbage. To the far left is a sign indicating the direction of Chimayo and Espanola. The image is rendered in brown tones.Reverse: Written in black paint is the story of "Take a Closer Walk with Three...a selfie".
