DescriptionTwenty wooden staves painted white with painted gold designs and cutouts. The upper paper section is a print showing a gathering where people converse, drink from a bota, and dance the jota to the sound of two guitars. A couple ride on horseback and in the back ground there is a cathedral. Three roses separate the scene from another showing a medieval gate to the city.
