This sculptural piece depicts a youthful figure, reminiscent of a forest faun or Pan, wearing a unique animal-pelt headdress while playing a double flute (aulos). The figure stands in a classic contrapposto pose atop a stylized globe, which is supported by a dynamic, open-mouthed fish base.The fountain features a rich, multi-toned patina with deep chocolate browns and subtle verdigris accents, highlighting the intricate textures of the boy’s hair, the animal skin, and the scales of the fish. This piece is designed for water to spout from the double flutes and the fish's mouth, creating a multi-tiered auditory and visual experience.Cast using the traditional lost-wax method, this fountain is a substantial and enduring work of art, perfect as a focal point for a formal garden, a Mediterranean-style courtyard, or an elegant sunroom.
