No this isn't a statue from the book of Revelation. It's the statue in the visitor's plaza of the United Nations Building, in New York. It was made by Mexican artists, Jacobo and Maria Angeles and donated by the Government of Oaxaca, Mexico. It represents the United Nations as a guardian for international peace and security. The Aztecs used similar representations in their art--the combination of a jaguar and an eagle.
I can see the protection and security, but not international peace. Where's the cancel culture when you need them? Here's one statue that should be torn down.
