DescriptionDull blue painted tin frame with bent and punched lunette at top and small folded wing-like extensions from top corners. Inside is a warped print of a saint in monk's robes, crowned in thorns, holding a cross to his chest. At bottom "San Juan" can be faintly read through the old and dusty glass. Colored paper flowers edge the image and reverse painted florals edge the glass.
