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.

Located at Kahramana Square intersection between Karrada Dakhil and Karrada Kharij districts, the fountain serves as a central meeting point.

The statue represents one of the few Middle Eastern public artworks featuring a female protagonist from classical Arabic literature.
