Description

Portable altar containing three dimensional figures of Saint Isidore the Laborer and two yoked bulls. The top and side walls of the altar are painted blue. There is an arched opening in the façade of the altar. It has a yellow border. There is a sheet of glass in the opening so that the figures inside are protected. On either side of the archway, there are blue pilasters with gold capitals. There is also a dark blue archivolt lining the archway. The roof above the arch is triangular. It is painted pink with gold accents. There is a flower-shaped finial at the apex of the arch; it is pink with blue leaves. On either side of the central triangle, there are two smaller triangles completing the roofline. They have the same finials as the central triangle. The wall below the finials is painted yellow-white with pink accents. Where the left and right sides of the front of the object border the pilasters, they are painted green with red stripes. Inside the altar, the figure of Saint Isidore stands atop a cube plinth that is painted yellow-white with blue designs over top. Saint Isidore wears black boots, a green robe with gold trim and has a brown beard and long hair. He holds a red book with black text on the cover. Left of Saint Isidore, there are two small bulls painted yellow-white with black spots and red tongues. There is a gold yoke between them. The bulls stand atop a low, square plinth of unpainted wood. The artist’s name is written on the back of the object in blue pen. Also, a location is written in pencil and a number is written in red pen.
