This ceramic tile represents the historic Mission Santa Barbara, a Spanish mission founded by the Franciscan order near present-day Santa Barbara, California. It was founded by Padre Fermín Lasuén in 1786, on the feast day of Saint Barbara, as the tenth mission for the religious conversion of the indigenous local Chumash tribe of Native American people in California. The mission is the namesake of the city of Santa Barbara as well as Santa Barbara County.
