ORIGINAL NORTH SIDE WINDOW, LA CASA NUEVA MASTER BEDROOM
Color: Green; Red; White; Yellow
A color reproduction photograph of the original north side window in La Casa Nueva's Master Bedroom, ca. 1972. The close-up, which is blurry and hard to see in detail, shows the six panels, but none of the wood in the door which is in shadow. At top left is an image of a guardian angel with yellow garment and wings, framed in a box with a banner beneath with the words "The Guardian Angel." At top right is the a coat-of-arms with the Mexican eagle and snake in a shield, surmounted by a crown with a cross at the apex. Beneath is a banner, but there is no wording with it. The middle left panel shows a six-horse drawn Conestoga wagon with a few persons seated at the front and a man walking beside with a gun slung over his shoulder. A campfire scene with several wagons and pioneers is at the middle right. A woman cooking, man carving with a knife, and children playing are gathered around a fire. A similar coat-of-arms to that beforementioned is at lower left, except the crown is replaced an eagle and the banner beneath reads "Mexico"--this is the republican coat-of-arms, as opposed to the aforementioned royal one. At bottom right is the Spanish coat-of-arms with two panels showing a lion at left and castle at right within an oval border. At the top is a crown, but more rounded than the top right panel's crown, and the banner beneath is blank. This image was used to recreate the window during the museum's restoration. With light surface soiling on the reverse, the artifact is in otherwise good condition.
