This replica is one of several in a courtyard at Mission San Gabriel Arcangel. The area above the replicas is covered and a gate prevents visitors from touching the reproductions...but otherwise they are exposed the elements.
This one depicts Mission San Antonio de Padua. It appears to be made of painted wood but no sign indicates the artist or date.

Wikipedia (visit link) informs us:

"Mission San Antonio de Padua is a Spanish mission established by the Franciscan order in present-day Monterey County, California, near the present-day town of Jolon. It was founded on July 14, 1771, and was the third mission founded in Alta California by Father Presidente Junípero Serra. The mission was also the site of the first Christian marriage and the first use of fired-tile roofing in Upper California. Today the mission is a parish church of the Diocese of Monterey."
