DescriptionThe scene on the white handkerchief depicts a man, low rider pickup truck and Virgin of Guadalupe image. The man wears a large brown sombrero, has a black handlebar mustache, and wears a black shirt and jacket with red and white trim. The blue pickup is in the lower center, is probably a modified 1940's or 1950's Chevrolet with big chrome grill and bumper and has an "El Paso" emblem. The Lady of Guadalupe is in the right and is dressed in a green robe with blue lining & gold trim over a pink dress. Yellow and orange rays surround her, and three orange rose buds project above. In the lower left is a purple flower and red bud.On View
