Note Fr. Steele:

"It seems surely to be the work of Fray AG, alias Provincial Academic II style or The Master of San Jose --"|"Close analogue to this one in the Luis Gonzaga House in Los Griegos."|"The reliquary at the bottom [of the nicho that holds the bulto] contains a second-class relic of the saint--a tiny piece of the robe in which he was buried."|The bulto is displayed in a tin and glass nicho, RU94.
