Description:
A concrete wall, painted black, fronted by a slightly shorter light grey granite face. A large dark brown stone ball appears to be stuck about a third of the way up into the granite wall. A "starburst shape" is carved around the ball. The overall impression is that of a cannonball having been fired into the wall. Water pours slowly from the top of the ball down the granite face and into the semicircular basin which projects out of the lower granite face. The fountain is flanked by lattice work and placed atop a concrete base.
