About the Item

Graceful carved marble fountain featuring a standing female figure holding a shell, evoking classical themes of water and beauty. The sculpture is finely detailed, with flowing drapery and soft facial features, carved from solid marble with refined craftsmanship. Likely intended as a garden or courtyard fountain, the shell element suggests its use as a water spout or basin. Elegant and serene, this piece offers both decorative and functional value, ideal for traditional or Mediterranean-style settings. Dimensions: Height: 70.9 in (180 cm) Width: 19.7 in (50 cm) Depth: 19.7 in (50 cm) Condition: Good vintage condition. Minor wear consistent with age. Structurally sound and visually refined.
