Santiago Matamoros is shown as a warrior slaying Moors, symbolizing the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of Spain. Likely from the 17th or 18th century Spanish colonial period, this artwork reflects the era’s religious and cultural conflicts. Its folk art style is typical of Latin American religious art, highlighting the blend of European and indigenous influences.
