Patung Pahlawan, Bronze independence monument in Menteng, Indonesia
The Heroes Monument features a bronze statue of a peasant youth carrying a rifle, accompanied by a mother offering rice to her son.
President Sukarno commissioned Soviet sculptors Matvey and Ossip Manizer to create this monument in the late 1950s after his visit to Moscow.
The monument incorporates traditional elements like the caping farmer hat, representing Indonesia's agricultural heritage and independence struggle.
The monument stands at the intersection of Menteng and Prapatan Street, marking a central point in Jakarta's urban landscape.
The entire statue was manufactured in the Soviet Union and transported by ship to Indonesia before its inauguration in 1963.
