In 1984, a similar work, but sculpted in bronze by José Luis Padilla Retana, was installed where the original sculpture used to be placed.

It features the same subject, but it is now believed to represent three Purépecha (externally known as "Tarascan") princesses named Atzimba, Eréndira and Tzetzangari.

The original fountain was installed next to the city's aqueduct [es] in October 1931 and featured a colorful concrete sculpture.

They were removed as the municipal president, Fernando Ochoa Ponce, considered them to be out of harmony with the area and lacked any value or meaning.

According to the legends, Atzimba was exiled after she fell in love with a Spaniard explorer; Eréndira was a leader and a heroine that fought against the Spanish conquistadors; Tzetzangari filled Lake Zirahuén with her tears.
