Description

This charming object is a figurative fountain mouth. The mouth is modelled as a female grotesque mask in patinated bronze, her face deftly rendered, complete with textural hair. The water would have emerged from her open mouth; the piece, however, has been set onto a veined marble support, and is now simply decorative. Such figurative mouths have been used since antiquity.
