Abstract concrete serpent which winds down a small hill. The serpent's head is near the bottom of the hill and is brightly decorated with a mosaic of ceramic tile. The eyes are yellow, the top of the mouth is green, the bottom of the mouth and neck are blue and the open mouth is yellow with an orange tongue. Scattered along the entire surface of the winding concrete body are brightly colored square ceramic tiles. The top of the body is lined with stones, creating a trough for water to flow through. The water comes out the serpent's mouth as mist and collects in a shallow pool.
