Aliagha Vahid Monument, Bronze monument in Old City, Azerbaijan
The bronze statue stands 3 meters tall and features the poet's head with interwoven allegorical figures throughout his flowing hair.
Sculptor Rahib Hasanov and architect Sanan Salamzade completed the monument in October 1990, following a proposal made in 1989.
The monument celebrates Aliagha Vahid, who revived the medieval ghazal form in Azerbaijani poetry and received recognition as Honored Artist in 1943.
The monument relocated from Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Hall to its current location in Icherisheher district of Baku in 2008.
The statue incorporates scenes from Vahid's life, including his wedding and funeral, while his head grows like a tree structure.
