This globe is part of a sculpture "El Pelotari" by Eduardo Corella who used his son as the model. The globe uses blue tile to represent the oceans and the untiled portions are painted brown to represent the continents. A jai alai player stands atop the globe. The sculpture serves as a fountain as well. Unfortunately the date of the work is not presented at the site.
