    Description: 
    An abstract fountain consisting of three sculptural elements within a multilevel, circular basin. In the forefront is a wheel ring with bas-relief decorations on each side including intertwining serpents and Mayan bird heads. The edges of the ring are smooth. The middle element is a gigantic face in profile inspired by "Venus de Milo." The face is broken off at the forehead, angling down to where the top of the ear might have been, then chipped down slightly towards the face, ending where her chin and neck might meet. The backside of the face is flat. It tilts slightly onto a short column containing a low relief of a Mayan in costume. The third element is a fluted column composed of three blocks of diminishing size stacked on top of each other. On one side is a linear drawing of a face similar to the larger adjacent face, but with hair. All of the elements are white. They are mounted in a circular basin with a light turquoise interior. Two fountains at the edge of the basin pump up water.
