Nature

It has the shape of scapular and a yellow screen is made. It was the front and back painted with a red St. Andrew's cross, and often even with flames and devils.

The Sanbenito probably represents a replica of the bag, which had to bear in the first ages of the Church penitents. In addition, the Carocha the followers to the stake was set up. The panel, which under a St. Andrew's cross contained the names of the Inquisition condemned Sanbenito was called.
