      Lienzos pintados, como telones de teatro, o más bien como pedazos de monumento de Semana Santa, estaban clavados verticalmente para servir de biombo o abrigo a la cama en que dormían los tres hijos de Caifás, y la armazón de una vieja manga-cruz sin forro tenía dentro ollas rotas, vasos desportillados, una calavera de palo y un libro de palo también, atributos estos dos objetos de alguna imagen de anacoreta.
