Damaged Head of Saddam Hussein Statue - 2003 Firdo Postcard

This powerful photograph captures the damaged bronze head of Saddam Hussein from the large statue that once stood in Firdos Square, Baghdad. On April 9, 2003, during the Iraq War, the statue was dramatically pulled down by Iraqi civilians and U.S. forces — an event that became one of the most iconic images of the conflict and the end of Saddam Hussein’s regime. This surviving fragment shows the stern, mustached face wearing the signature beret, now weathered and broken at the neck and base. The piece is displayed on a black museum pedestal against a simple indoor background, highlighting its historical significance as a relic of modern Middle Eastern history. Perfect for: Educational wall art and posters Documentary or history-themed prints Gifts for history enthusiasts and collectors of modern artifacts Canvas prints and framed photography High-resolution image suitable for large-format printing. A striking and thought-provoking piece of contemporary history.
