Note Fr. Steele:
|
"cd be San Juan Evangelista, more likely an Eastern church father (Atanasio, Basilio, Cirilo, etc.)"|"Here is José Aragon at his quiet best. Note the little bare feet sticking out below the robe. The star (or sun or whatever) in the upper corner is unexampled, as is (more strikingly) the headgear. The closest thing to the headgear may be that of RU17, El Rey Mago or San Clemente Papa Romano; so it is probably meant to suggest some Eastern-Mediterranean hat or biretta."
