Stonework Above the Main Doors at Mission Concepción

Pictured is an example of the lovely but crumbling stonework at Mission Concepción. This piece depicts the cross and the shell, a symbol of baptism (the introduction to the Catholic faith). Shell designs are frequently found above doorways and windows.
