Fountain Statues



Originally, water fountains were the objects of necessity and utility. In ancient times, as water fountains contained the important water resource, which everybody could share, they were always placed at the center of communities. Therefore, everyone had the easy access to water for drinking, washing or storage.

As time goes by, with the popularity of indoor plumbing, the utility for water fountains is of the past. Due to their preponderant positions, outdoor fountains become the showcases for artists' masterpieces. The statues on them depicted various stories, the artists, the ages, etc. Here, let's enjoy the beauty of some statues and step into the artists' spiritual worlds together.
