I saw the exhibit "Mate de la Independencia" at the Museo de Arte Popular José Hernández. The artist exhibited 4 ornate silver mates with a woman holding the mate. I didn't understand the importance of the woman until the following day when F and I were in the Plaza de Mayo in front of the Casa Rosada where there is a statue in honor of the May Revolution. The same woman as in the mates is displayed prominently in the statue. This made me remember that the woman represents the nation of Argentina and I remembered seeing her in many places.
