Sculptor Věra Merhautová created an oversized bronze statue of Jabůrková from 1960 to 1965. The monument was unveiled in a small park at the intersection of Pilsen and Podbělohorská in Prague-Košíře in 1965. The monument was removed and transferred to the Prague City Gallery depository in 1992[1] without the knowledge of the sculptor. Here it remained until the summer of 2002, when the statue moved to Olšany Cemetery.[1]
