Answer:
There are so many allegorical representations of Argentina.
Explanation:
Allegorical representations of Argentina are not nationally personified like Marianne from France or Hispania from Spain.
Different statues, engravings and paintings represent freedom, republic, fatherland or other concepts. These concepts have been officially used by the state of Argentine. The allegory of Argentina usually represented by a female figure/statue dressed in robes and wearing a phrygian styled cap.
"The May Pyramid" is also a part of allegory of Argentine, remodeled in 1856 by engineer, architect and painter Prilidiano Pueyrredón. This statue represents a female wearing a phrygian cap but having a spear in one hand and an Argentine shield in the other.
"The Republic" made by Italian sculptor Ettore Ximenes is a bust of woman having thick hair and a coat carrying arms of Argentina and a brooch in her chest.
The "Mausoleum of General San Martín" is a black sarcophagus guarded by three female statues representing Argentina, Chile and Peru. These are the states that General San Martín freed.
