Fuente de los Cántaros is an outdoor fountain and sculpture of an indigenous woman in Mexico City's Parque México, in Mexico, created by José María Hernández Urbina in 1927, and restored in 2008.
The fountain was created by José María Hernández Urbina, with Luz Jiménez, an indigenous Nahua woman, as the model, in 1927.
[a] Urbina, together with the architect Roberto Montenegro was one of the creators of the Forum, with its Art Deco features, in the 1920s, at the time that Colonia Condesa was being developed.
The Forum was poorly maintained, and fell into disrepair, but in 2008 a restoration began at a cost of 21 million pesos over 17 months, but was considered controversial by local residents.
[6][7] The statue has become symbolised in stencil graffiti on the walls of Mexico City,[8] and has been replicated in fibreglass for a film and is a frequent subject for artists.
