Kahramana, Bronze fountain sculpture in Sa'adoon Street, Baghdad, Iraq.
The Kahramana fountain depicts a woman standing over forty jars, cast in bronze with a height of 330 centimeters.
Mohammed Ghani Hikmat created this public artwork in 1971 during a period of national art commissions to enhance Baghdad's urban spaces.
The sculpture represents a scene from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves where Marjana pours oil into jars containing hidden bandits.
