Woman of Tehuantepec, Fountain sculpture in Balboa Park, San Diego, United States.
The Woman of Tehuantepec fountain features a figure carved in stone wearing traditional Mexican clothing and holding a water vessel.
Artist Donal Hord created this outdoor fountain sculpture in 1935 as part of the artistic developments in Balboa Park's House of Hospitality.
The sculpture represents the women from the Tehuantepec region of Mexico, known for their traditional dress and central role in community life.
