In the bottom of this pool is a tile mural depicting our Lady of Lourdes. Inside the domed structure are two figures. The first figure is our Lady of Lourdes standing with her hands clasped in prayer in front of her. A rosary hangs on her proper right arm. She is wearing long robes and a head covering. To her proper right is a kneeling woman, hands clasped in prayer, wearing long skirt, an apron and a head kerchief. A small bronze crucifix is atop the dome.
