Saint Marina, also known as Margaret, was martyred at the beginning of the fourth century. She is shown as a shepherdess with a crook and saddlebag (alforjas) since she is said to have guarded her nurse’s sheep, but in this case not with the dragon which, according to legend, she killed. Inscriptions / Translations: inscribed u.r.: STA. MARINA |
