Mr. Potato Head? Another botched art restoration in Spain gets flak online.

Yet another bungled restoration of an art piece in Spain is being condemned by artists and social media critics alike — this time, of a statue in a small town.

Spain-based artist Antonio Capel shared a stunning before-and-after of a statue in his town of Palencia.

“This head fell from one of Palencia’s iconic buildings,” he said in a Facebook post last week where he first shared the photos of the restoration, which originally showed a smiling woman. The building, per The Art Newspaper, was built in 1923.

The building owners then commissioned someone to restore the statue. It remains unclear who was hired, but artists and restorers have made it clear that it was not a professional.

“Nobody knows who would do such a barbarity,” Capel told USA TODAY in a message. “(It) looks like a cartoon character.”

Some commenters chimed in with few suggestions: A Mr. Potato Head and a Mr. Bill doll from an early “Saturday Night Live” bit sprung to mind.

But many critics, professional or not, drew the clear comparison to the repair of the Ecce Homo fresco in 2012, which after its renovation, was jokingly named “Monkey Jesus.” It also recalls the botched fix-up of an Immaculate Conception painting earlier this year, also in Spain.

Per NPR, Spain’s Professional Association of Restorers and Conservators openly shunned the artwork on Twitter.

“It is a NOT professional intervention,” the organization tweeted.

The organization has repeatedly railed against amateur restorers, especially following a polychrome restoration of a St. George statue. "We cannot tolerate more attacks on our cultural heritage," they said after that incident. "It shows a frightening lack of training of the kind required for this sort of job."
