Location at the Arboretum

Located along the Ankeny Lang Rose Walk

A stone pool surround with four vase sections, which is in the shape of a conch shell, flanked by two dolphins, is supported by a base decorated with palmettes and scrolls. There is a water spout from the outside edge toward a bronze statute of two figures (one holding a fish) in the middle. The kerb section of the pool surround has a continuous moulding enriched with ovolo and palmette designs. The plinth lends appeal to the overall appearance of the pool, raising it from ground level.

Gift of the Ankeny and Lang families, 2005.
