Description

The fountain is crafted from patinated bronze which has been partially painted. The item takes the form of a group of crossed branches, upon which a pair of herons perch. A cluster of light blue bulrushes grow on the branch between one heron’s feet. The herons are naturalistically depicted, with their characteristic feathery crests and their long necks and legs. The birds have been expertly cast in bronze, every feature being rendered in great detail.

In many cultures, the heron is a symbol of strength, patience, prosperity and long life.
