The Brave Female Hero of Erzurum, Nene Hatun Full-Length Statue with Baby

The Nene Hatun statue is a powerful figurative sculpture that transforms one of the bravest and most inspiring female heroes of Turkish history into a work of art. The piece seen in the photograph was captured during the clay modeling stage at the Heykel.org Workshop, and at 1.7 meters in height, it already clearly reveals the majestic stance and fine craftsmanship of the sculpture. Standing ready to advance with her baby on her back and a scythe in her hand, this strong female figure reflects both Nene Hatun's motherhood and her warrior spirit simultaneously.

Who is Nene Hatun?

Nene Hatun was born in Erzurum in 1857 and passed away in the same city in 1955. She made history with her extraordinary courage during the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War (the 93 War), one of the most deep-rooted resistance epics in Turkish history. During those dark days when Russian forces besieged Erzurum, twenty-year-old Nene Hatun attacked enemy trenches with her baby on her back and a scythe in her hand; she both fought herself and called the women of Erzurum to the front. This epic bravery is an example of heroism that belongs not only to that period but to all of Turkish history.

Symbolizing the role of women in national defense and the unbearable strength carried by Anatolian women for centuries, Nene Hatun is accepted today as the symbol of Erzurum. The hospital, street, and monumental tomb bearing her name in Erzurum reflect the deep bond this legendary woman established with the city. The fact that she was awarded the Medal of Independence by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey is the official expression of the value history has accorded her.

Design and Detailed Features of the Sculpture

The Nene Hatun statue is designed to reflect the spirit of the historical figure in the most powerful way. The most striking elements of the composition are the baby on her back and the scythe in her hand. When these two elements are evaluated together, a deeply meaningful unity emerges, symbolizing Nene Hatun's identity as both a mother and a warrior. Protecting her baby while also defending her homeland, this female figure stands as the representative of all the brave mothers of Anatolia.

The clothing details of the figure have also been worked with great precision. The dress, belt, and headscarf, reflecting the Erzurum women's clothing of the period, have been realistically modeled down to the fabric folds. While her facial expression reflects determination and strength, the forward-leaning stance of the figure symbolizes the spirit of progress and breakthrough. These details, which are so evident even in the clay modeling stage, will gain a much stronger expression during the casting and surface treatment phases.

Production Process from Clay Modeling to Casting

The sculpture is currently in the clay modeling stage at the Heykel.org Workshop. During this process, our experienced sculptors meticulously handle every detail of the figure to give the work its final form. Following the completion of the clay model, the silicone mold-making process will be carried out; fine details such as the clothing texture, facial expression, and the scythe will be transferred completely to the mold. During the casting stage, using bronze or fiberglass material, the work will reach its permanent form, and in the final stage, the sculpture will be completed with surface treatment and patina applications.

Areas of Use

The Nene Hatun statue and similar statues of historical female heroes constitute extremely meaningful choices for municipal squares and public parks, schools and university campuses, museums and cultural centers, and entrance areas of hospitals and institutions. Especially for the cities of Erzurum and Eastern Anatolia, the Nene Hatun statue is a powerful public art piece that honors the region's cultural identity and historical heritage. Deliveries are made to every province within the country and abroad from our workshop. With the baby on her back, it can also be considered a Mother Statue.

Nene Hatun Statue FAQ

Nene Hatun is a legendary Turkish hero born in Erzurum in 1857 and who passed away again in Erzurum in 1955. During the 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War, at just twenty years old, she attacked enemy trenches with her baby on her back and a scythe in her hand, both fighting herself and calling Erzurum women to the front. This legendary hero symbolizing the role of women in homeland defense and the centuries-long indomitable strength of the Anatolian woman was deemed worthy of the Medal of Independence by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

The scythe and baby are two symbolic elements that most powerfully summarize Nene Hatun's identity. The scythe in her hand represents her warrior spirit, determination, and valor in homeland defense, while the baby on her back reflects her motherhood and the human dimension of a woman who went to war in the midst of life. The use of these two elements together creates a deeply meaningful unity that positions Nene Hatun as both a mother and a warrior. This composition, representing all brave mothers of Anatolia, elevates the statue far beyond an ordinary monument.

The women's clothing of Erzurum from that period has been meticulously modeled in the statue, faithful to historical reality. The dress, belt, and headscarf have been realistically crafted down to fabric folds; the texture and material feel is masterfully conveyed thanks to the flexibility of clay. This detail work transforms the statue from a mere figure into a documentary work of art reflecting the spirit of the period and the identity of the Erzurum woman. These costume details will gain a much more powerful expression during the casting and surface treatment phases.

Nene Hatun is recognized as the symbol of Erzurum. The hospital, street, and memorial tomb bearing her name reflect the deep bond this legendary woman established with the city. This hero who risked her life to defend Erzurum during the Russo-Turkish War has become an inseparable part of the city's historical and cultural identity. A Nene Hatun statue rising in public space makes Erzurum's deep-rooted heritage visible, gives the city a unique identity, and brings that historic spirit back to life at every commemoration of the war.

The Nene Hatun statue is a powerful historical identity symbol for municipal squares, public parks, and schools. University campuses, museums, and cultural centers can also prefer this work as the focal point of their collections or spaces. It also makes an extremely meaningful choice for the entrance areas of hospitals and institutions bearing Nene Hatun's name. All institutions wishing to honor the cultural heritage and historical heroes of the region, especially Erzurum and Eastern Anatolia cities, can order this statue.
