Object Notes

On 7/8/2016, it was discovered that an additional photograph was present of the verso of the support for Apache Fiesta. This verso image appears to be an original photo that was not intended to be used as a finished work, thus the support was reused to produce the current image. The photograph on the verso is missing remnants of the image in various areas, also leading to a conclusion that the object was not to be used. The image on the verso depicts a Spanish Colonial style adobe church which has two bell towers, three crosses and a solid adobe fence in front of it.
