Description:
Gargoyle and rain spout affixed to the corner of a building. The sculpture consists of three figures. On the bottom is a human figure, slightly grotesque in form with a large rounded belly and elongated face. The figure is crouched face down; a pipe runs through the figure's head and water pours out the open mouth. Directly above the figure is the back half of a dog's body. The torso emerges from the side of the building; the back legs straddle the human figure's head. Sitting on the rump of the dog is a pelican which faces away from the building. The sculpture appears to be made of plaster.
