La Virgen del Rosario (Our Lady of the Rosary, center of case: Holding the Christ child in left arm and rosary in right hand, on horned moon supported by an angel's face, full crowns on figures.) Wood, gesso, paint; glass eyes, wig; closed mouth; fabric garments; metal crowns; about 5' (150 cm.).

Lower left (obscured by wooden edge of case, see detail): Santo Domingo (Saint Dominic: Star in forehead, Dominican habit with rosary, halo, tonsure.) Polychrome, about 2½' (75 cm.).

Lower left (see detail): Virgin and Child with rosaries.

Leaning against the case: El Señor de la Misericordia (Crucifix.) Wood, gesso, paint; about 3' (90 cm.).

Not seen (in the rear right of the case): Franciscan Saint: Brown habit with cowl, polychrome (?) about 2½' (75 cm.). This is a companion piece to the Santo Domingo above, the halo having been carved in the same distinctive pattern and the face having the same angular bone structure. Judging from this, and from the cowl, one may suppose it to be Francis of Assisi.
