A cast lead wall fountain designed in the Neoclassical revival style. The backplate features a central high-relief mask of a cherub or putto, which functions as a spout with a short metal pipe protruding from the mouth. The mask is surrounded by symmetrical foliate scrolls and accented with floral blossoms at the outer corners. Below the spout is a semi-circular basin featuring vertical gadrooned relief work and a central floral motif at the base. The material exhibits a characteristic weathered gray patina with scattered areas of white lead oxidation. Two holes are present at the top corners for wall mounting. Dimensions: Depth approx. 7.5 inches (measured against a ruler showing inches only). Condition: The item is in good vintage condition, showing signs of use and outdoor exposure. It features a heavy, weathered gray patina with visible white oxidation. Surface cracks and casting lines are apparent throughout the object, notably along the basin rim and within the foliate scrolls. One of the mounting holes contains a rusted metal bolt. The basin contains organic debris. There are no signs of structural repairs or restorations.
