Spouse of Mary and foster father of Jesus, traditionally a carpenter. Shown in New Mexico as a younger man than in most European art, he has a dark beard and dark hair, carries a flowering staff, holds the Niño, and wears a brightly colored and often intricately patterned robe. He is sometimes crowned; occasionally there is a basket of carpenter's tools by his feet.
