Photograph of a crucifix and altar candlesticks at Mission San Juan Capistrano, California, ca.1908. The crucifix is between two altar candlesticks on top of a crate, which reads "Illinois Sugar Refining Co., Chicago." The altar candlesticks have triangular bases and otherwise consist of a slender rod with a turned shape. The crucifix is supported on an octagonal base, is probably made of wood, and has a Christ figure mounted on it. The wall behind has long vertical scratches behind the cross and there is a "W" on the lower right.
