A study of santos in 16th-century and other churches in Oaxaca, Mexico. Claire and Richard Stracke . Funded by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. The crucifix looks old.
Much blood flows from the five wounds and from large lesions at the knees.
The skin is purple around these lesions, and around the wound in the side. The sheen of the skin is realistic. The scutum has a golden color and is set in an unusual vertical position behind the pelvis. On the head is a one-piece metal combination cruciform halo and crown of thorns, also in a golden color.
