Virgin of Guadalupe
Saint Michael
and Saint Francis

This is known either as a tablero or as a retablo (which word also refers to a hand painted picture of a saint). An item like this would have been placed in a private chapel for the use of a family in private worship. All of the figures and hand carved and hand painted. In the center is the Virgin of Guadalupe, and on either side are San Franciso (St. Francis) and San Miguel (St. Michael).
