Title

Semana Santa in Seville Postcard

Description

This postcard is oriented vertically and is in black and white. In the center is a figure standing and holding a scepter with a special woven banner hanging from the top of it. The figure wears a black, tall, and pointed hat that completely covers their face and neck. They wear a simple white, long-sleeved robe with a robe of black buttons from top to bottom down the center. Over their shoulders is a black cape which, like the robe, falls nearly to the floor. They wear black shoes and a black long bib over their front. The figure's hands are covered by black gloves and with their left hand they touch near their chin. Their right hand holds the scepter. On the woven banner are the capitalized letters, "SPQR," surrounded by decorative flourishes. At the very bottom center of the card in simple print it reads, "Un Nazareno--Semana Santa en Sevilla."
