Object description :

"White Marble Fountain Mouth Mask, 18th Century"

- Fountain mouth in the image of a sea creature sculpted in white marble, 18th century work.

This mascaron has a stylized face with surprising outgrowths such as this collar/scales all around or the tubercle near the eye; it seems to be that of a humanized sea creature. A friendly echo to the aquatic function of this mascaron. In addition, the gaping mouth, open in an "o" shape and the hypertropic gaze of this face give it a comical air.

- Wear and tear and missing parts are to be noted.

- Dimensions: Height: 25.3 cm, Width: 16 cm, Depth: 8 cm, Mouth diameter: 2 cm
