Guerrero Chimalli
Guerrero Chimalli (Spanish: [ɡeˈreɾo tʃiˈmali] ⓘ; "Shield Warrior") is an outdoor steel sculpture by Enrique "Sebastián" Carbajal, installed along Bordo de Xochiaca Avenue, in Chimalhuacán, State of Mexico. It is a 60 meters (200 ft) artwork that depicts an indigenous warrior holding a Chīmalli (a type of shield) and a mace. The plinth serves as a museum and the sculpture as an observation deck. Excluding their plinths, it is slightly taller than the Statue of Liberty, in the United States.
