The presentation of the scourged, thorn-crowned, purple-robed Jesus to the crowd; also, the bulto which can be put through most of the phases of the passion.

Note Fr. Steele: 
Oil painted with china eyes and real eyelashes (!).Note the overly-dramatic broken -down-Baroque posture. The bright red-and-green color scheme is very folk -- very rasquache (see RU 241).
