Subject:  Mythology -- Classical -- Nymph Object Type:  Outdoor Sculpture -- Georgia -- Sapelo Island Sculpture Owner:  Administered by State of Georgia, Department of Natural Resources, Parks, Recreation, and Historic Sites, Sapelo Island, Georgia 31327 Located Reynolds Mansion, Sapelo Island, Georgia Remarks:  The sculptures were commissioned by Howard E. Coffin. Both sculptures originally stood inside the mansion, surrounding an indoor swimming pool. A third sculpture still resides in the mansion. The sculptures were probably moved to their present location outdoors during the Reynold era (1934-1964) as photographs taken prior do not show them at their present site.
