The dolphin is considered the king of the fish. In classical ornament the dolphin often appears as an attribute of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. This piece was inspired by early XVI century Italianate designs. For pedestal see S310S string.
GENERAL NOTE
Simple precautions should be taken to avoid frost damage to fountains. Water should be drained off before winter every year and not replaced until spring when any risk of hard frost has passed.
