Description
In the Plaza Bolivar in front of the Manizales Cathedral, stands a large concrete column bearing the famous Condor Bolivar statue. Below it is this sculpture of this impressive face, supposedly the death mask of Bolivar, explained as: "Statue of Bolivar (liberator and uniter of northern South America (Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador). He was referred to as the Condor, and in this sculpture the mask has been taken off and he wears the head of a condor. This is in the main squre in front of the municipal building."

The Petrine Cross on the face is a Christian symbol, not satanic as many believe. See https://thoughtcatalog.com/erin-cossetta/2018/04/heres-what-an-upside-down-cross-really-means/
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken Oct 25/19 in Manizales, Colombia, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
