Penitente de Esparto

Andalusia is known worldwide for its Holy Week, which brings together penitents from processional brotherhoods. This Penitente de Esparto was handcrafted in esparto fibre using the traditional 'soguilla' technique of braiding. A different one was made for each of Úbeda's 20 brotherhoods.
