Apparently Injun displayed on the new bill is not the Indian 10BsF Guaicaipuro but Paramacay Injun.
An array of opinion circulates in the street and makes reference to a possible mistake issuer experts in the selection of the pre-Columbian indigenous illustration.
The image attached to the ticket Guaicaipuro of Bs
For his part, exchange Italcambio house also has a work by the same author.
When comparing the two illustrations of Rye Vallenllla creates controversy; medals house show the chief Paramacay change in one of his medallions, coincidentally, that picture is very similar to the current presentation of ten bolivars.
The numismatist Carlos Bernardoni said this newspaper yesterday that Pedro Centeno was the painter who formalized the faces of indigenous Venezuelans.
"Through these medals were immortalized images of the chiefs.
Barnardoni said after the completion of the medals, the artist painted the picture that took the BCV as a reference for the design of the ticket.
"The table has the BCV nowhere states that it is Guaicaipuro (…) But Italcambio medals if the author wrote the names of each cacique, there Paramacay figure coincides with the ten-strong bolivar "he said.
The expert said that although the two Indians have similar traits, there are elements in the illustrations that, at first glance, differentiate them, "the headband on the forehead and feather plumes are both found positions and medallions Guaicaipuro
Triviality
On indigenous heroes of the resistance has been much speculation, by then there were no visual evidence to confirm who were the indigenous leaders from each region.
"For sure it is not known how they were, any figure to emerge as a testimony of the heroes of indigenous resistance is valid," the anthropologist said so Nemecio Montiel.
Speculation is attributed to the new ticket will have to investigate, said the academic.
Meanwhile, Ricardo Tarbay, numismatic auction house Numasur capital considers the controversy as a triviality.
"By tradition, the designs that are made to make Venezuelan tickets come from works of art and paintings, such as portraits of Bolivar's in quantity, which makes the BCV is an adaptation of the figure in question," he said.
The Mint, vice attached to the BCV, made efforts to obtain tickets incalculable novel, with distinctive features of natural and ethnic, to the expert is unacceptable that this work is discredited.
In history, there is nothing that is completely absolute or true, said the expert.
"I would not consider discussing important fact seems Guaicaipuro who in any case one does not know know how the latter were neither chief nor Paramacay" he said.
Despite attempting to contact the authorities of the Mint and the BCV, the agency has not yet established its position on the controversial Indian face for the first time Guaicaipuro that is taken into account for the Venezuelan monetary cone design.
On the other hand I think that needed more research and better study by the Mint before approving the design of the banknotes.
It happens that the image representing the Indian Guaicaipuro in bolivars 10 note was taken of the play "Maps and Venezuelan Allegories" Vallenllla Pedro Centeno of Venezuela, which in 1965 artist was commissioned to create a commemorative medal collection allusive
Well, not in the box and Allegories Venezuelan Maps, or any other documentation, the artist said that the case of the Indian Guaicaipuro.
This may not be given due importance at the end of the works of the famous artist come from your own imagination, and the Cacique Paramacay not there to complain about this outrage.
