The image is a black and white photograph of a plaque on a stone wall. The plaque is rectangular in shape and has an ornate design on the top and bottom. The center of the plaque features a shield with a coat of arms in the center, which is a symbol of the Santa Barbara Mission. Below the shield, there is text that reads "Santa Barbara Mission, founded December 4, 1786, present church completed 1820 destroyed by earthquake 1925, restored 1927 & 1953." The text is written in a serif font and is surrounded by a decorative border. The stone wall appears to be old and weathered, with cracks and chips in the surface.
