An artist hired to restore the face of a decades-old statue in Spain did such a hilariously bad job, the piece has now been nicknamed “The Potato Head of Palencia,” according to a report.

The 1923 sculpture of a woman — which adorns a bank in the small northern city — now has a melted-looking face, complete with two cartoonish eyes, puckered lips and a misshapen lumpy nose, according to photos posted on Facebook.

The mangled makeover of the artwork, which once depicted a lady smiling next to livestock, sparked anger from conservationists and art lovers, who compared the sculpture’s new look to a “Potato head,” “Donald Trump,” and a “cartoon,” according to The Art Newspaper.

“[It’s] NOT a professional restoration,” Spain’s Professional Association of Restorers and Conservators said.

Valencia-based art conservationist Illanos Argudo fumed, “Restoring is not repairing, serious interventions must follow criteria.”

The name of the person who restored the Palencia statue has not been reported.

It is hardly the country’s first art restoration bungle.

In 2012, a 19th century Jesus painting was famously altered so badly it was nicknamed “Monkey Christ.”

Last year, a botched patch-up job left a 500-year-old statue of a Spanish warrior looking more like a toy solider.

And earlier this year, a furniture restorer to clean a copy of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s painting “The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables,” turned the face of the Virgin Mary into a lumpy mess.
