This three-layered grand fountain was created in the French Renaissance style. The fountainhead is held by a young boy standing upon a circular base. The boy is held by three dolphin figures resting upon another, larger circular base. The third base consists of three kneeling merboys all upon a grooved triform base with concave sides.

Gift of Dr. Virgil T. Fallon, 2001. The fountain was purchased from the Chelsea Garden Show in England.
