Tugu Pahlawan Tak Dikenal, Memorial statue in Bukittinggi, Indonesia
The monument features a statue of a young man holding a small wooden stick, positioned above circular dragon ornaments in a round garden setting.
The monument was constructed in 1971 to replace the Liberation Monument of 1959, marking the central army's victory over the Revolutionary Government of Indonesia.
The monument contains inscriptions of Mohammad Yamin's poetry, expressing themes of sacrifice and eternal remembrance through natural elements like clouds and ocean foam.
The memorial stands across from Bung Hatta Monument Park and several meters from Jam Gadang clock tower, making it central for city exploration.
The statue originally held a flag, but after being struck by lightning, the design was modified to include a wooden stick instead.
