An upward-angled, close-up view captures the ornate upper facade of the Correo Central (Central Post Office) building in Plaza de Armas, Santiago, Chile. The central feature is an elaborately decorated arched opening, likely a large window, constructed from light-colored stone or concrete. A sculpted grotesque face, or mascaron, forms the keystone at the apex of the arch. Directly below the mascaron, integrated into the arch's spandrel, is a prominent cartouche containing a central spherical object encircled by a wreath, flanked by scrolled elements. Intricate relief carvings of floral, organic, and possibly foliate motifs heavily adorn the arch's spandrels and surrounding architectural panels. Above this detailed arch, a substantial cornice and frieze mark the upper edge of the depicted building section. The upper portion of the image is dominated by a uniformly light gray, overcast sky. No individuals or actions are visible in the static architectural scene.
