The decision follows the proceedings initiated by the Cabildo of Tenerife in October 2024, in compliance with a court ruling. The advisory body concluded that the sculpture, created by Juan de Ávalos, does not possess the necessary heritage values for protection under the highest guardianship figure provided for in Canary Islands cultural heritage legislation.

The agreement was adopted by a large majority: sixteen votes against the declaration, one abstention, and no votes in favor. Previously, the Technical Committee for Architectural Heritage of the Council had already issued an unfavorable opinion after examining the documentation.

The Council of Cultural Heritage of the Canary Islands is the main coordination and consultation body for cultural heritage in the archipelago. It comprises representatives from the Government of the Canary Islands, the seven island councils, the Federation of Canary Islands Municipalities, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Miguel Arcángel, professional colleges, Canary Islands universities, museums, and associations dedicated to heritage defense.
