Casabindo, a small town on the Argentine puna even higher and more remote than Uquía, holds its own colonial church with its own surviving arquebusier angels — a second high-Andean outpost of the militia genre alongside Josiel's home church. The two sites, roughly a day's travel apart even today, suggest the format traveled as a package: workshops or patrons who wanted a full angel-wall commissioned the whole set together. Like Uquía's angels, this one reads as part of a company rather than a solitary portrait — heaven's army, garrisoned at the edge of the empire.
