I see the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. One other face I recognize is the poet, the soul of Cuba, Jose Marti. His is the largest face. He said, ""Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy....A man who obeys a bad government is not an honest man."
