Detail of the exquisite carving on a choir seat, featuring the Augustinian coat of arms, from the choir of the San Agustin church in Intramuros, Manila. Founded in 1571, it is the oldest stone church in the Philippines, and the most venerable; it is also the last remnant of the eight great churches of Old Manila, which were utterly destroyed in the Second World War.
