The left piece is comprised of two white tip matches, mounted close together, on the piece of paper. It is an image of a beer bottle atop a table with a lace tablecloth. There's a potted cactus next to the beer bottle. Under the pieces is black text that reads: "I have been told that when water was changed to wine, it became Sangre de Christe, blood of Christ."
