Description

Retablo altar. The outside of the box is a light yellow colour with a large floral motif on the door both inside and out, and a series of small lines on the outer sides. In the box is a scene with small plaster figures vibrantly painted: three human figures stand at back, behind several animals including sheep and a donkey.

The outer structure is a small box made of wood with a pediment above a door that opens on leather hinges.
