The statue of David of Sasun, Bronze equestrian monument at Railway Station Square, Yerevan, Armenia
The copper statue stands 12.5 meters tall, depicting David mounted on his horse Kurkik Jalali with his hand reaching for his sword.
Sculptor Yervand Kochar created the initial plaster version in 1939, but the current bronze monument was installed in December 1959 after his release.
The statue represents David of Sasun, the central character of an Armenian epic from the 8th century who defended workers and peasants.
The monument sits in a 25-meter diameter pool near the Yerevan Railway Station, making it visible from multiple viewing angles.
The bronze bowl at the base of the statue weighs 3.5 tons and symbolizes the endurance of the Armenian people through history.
