A dog and a smaller animal sit together on one side, a rodent crosses the ground on the other, and a bird perches on the frame above. Martin de Porres swept the friary at Lima, nursed the sick and fed the poor of the city, and the old story of the dog, the cat and the mouse sharing one bowl at his word is why the animals are all gathered here at once.
