Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The "Black Angel" statue is in the Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City. It is by Mario Korbel and was erected in 1913. Lots of superstitions surround the work of art. It is said that if one touches or kisses the statue they will be struck dead, unless that person is a virgin. It is also rumored that if a pregnant woman walks beneath the statue’s stretched wings that she will miscarry. Vandals have damaged the statue, removing several fingers. |
