El Niño de Atocha

This is the canonical form of the Niño de Atocha image. The Christ Child sits on a chair wearing long hair and a hat with a flat brim and holding a basket and a gourd on a pilgrim's staff, a sheaf of wheat in his left hand. Vases with flowers will be included in paintings but not in sculptures.
