    Description: 
    A standing figure of a nude young girl wearing only a flower for a hat. She is leaning over slightly from the waist, with her feet together and her arms held tightly at her sides. Her hands are held out from her body and her fingers are held tightly together. There is just a hint of a grin on her face. At the back of the sculpture, extending up against the back of the girl's legs are four cat tails that are spouts, suggesting that at some earlier time this piece was part of a fountain.
