Bust of Cuauhtémoc, Bronze sculpture at Zócalo, Mexico
The bronze bust of Cuauhtémoc stands in Mexico City's main square, capturing the facial features of the last Aztec emperor in fine detail.
Created by sculptor Jesús Fructuoso Contreras at the end of the 19th century, this artwork was part of a collection honoring Mexican historical figures.
The sculpture represents the endurance of indigenous Mexican heritage and serves as a focal point for ceremonies in the capital's central square.
