notes:
Text describes the twelve stars as representing the twelve Franciscan monks who went to Lima. The eyes are said to represent vigilance. The letters within the checked squares read, "ISULUSI," an anagram of "Luis." The letters' "Ser," represent Cervela's last name. Cervela was the builder of the church and monastery of San Francisco in Lima, Peru, as well as its general commissary or comisario general from 1669 to1674.
