DescriptionSan Pascual, dressed in gray and blue garments, sits on the grass watching Zozobra with flames at its base. To the left of Pascual sits a pig with a red ribbon around its neck, a cottontail rabbit, and a mouse. To his right sits a brown dog, and behind it is a scared black cat with raised fur. The background is mostly washes of blue, yellow and orange. The border and edges are black with a single row of red scallops running around the scene and on the lunette at the top. A leather thong serves as a hanger. Signed and titled on back. Subtitled on front: "A Cada Puerco Le Lleba Su Sabado".
