Typography — Baghdad monument

The Baghdad Monument represents a seated woman wearing traditional Arab clothes similar to those worn by the women of the Thousand and One Nights. The woman looks to the south, and puts a woman’s turban on her head. On the sides of the white-stone-coated base are verses of poetry glorifying Baghdad and praising its history by the late sculptor Muhammad Ghani Hikmat. It was transferred from Al-Andalus Square to the Museum Square in Al-Alawi area
