Each bas-relief is framed by decorated columns and panels, with the panel beneath bearing a legend. One panel depicts a conquistador dressed in a helmet and body armor, with a battle-ax and a cross in the background above his shoulders. Another panel depicts in profile a Franciscan monk wearing a hooded robe and holding an open book. Another panel depicts the Virgin Mary dressed in a blue robe, wearing a gold crown and holding a gold rosary. The fourth panel depicts a Pueblo Indian wearing a yellow shirt with a silver necklace and mauve headband. On each face of the pedestal is an inset bas-relief in color of a flowering desert plant.

    Owner: 
    Coadministered by Los Caballeros, Santa Fe, New Mexico
    Coadministered by Hilton of Santa Fe, 100 Sandoval Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501
    Located Hilton of Santa Fe, 100 Sandoval Street, Entrance, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501
    Remarks: 
    Commissioned by Los Caballeros, a local Santa Fe celebration group, and the Hilton Hotel of Santa Fe. In 1993, Leopaldo Romero, a local artist, painted over the sculpture's pigmented concrete with bright colors. Marks on the first side of the base suggest that a plaque once mounted there has been removed. The Virgin Mary is also known in parts of New Mexico as La Conquistadora. IAS files contain related articles from unidentified sources.
