"Lion Head" Water Fountain

The Lion Head water fountain has as its centerpiece a lion peering out of the foliage and blue skies. Beneath him a waterfall ends into a pond with swimming fish over the waterfall that rushes into a pond surrounded by greenery. Fish swim inside the pond and a seashell adorns the bottom. The outside of the water base section is covered with spring flowers in different colors. The base of the water fountain repeats the colors of the above section more vividly with a seashell at its center.

The mosaic layers cover the entire water fountain inside and out of the waterfall.

The water fountain can stand against a wall and is ideal for a hallway of the main house entrance or for the backyard wall.
