"Kašna je vytesaná z kremicitého šedého pískovce. Vodní nádrž má približne ctvercový pudorys o rozmerech 3 x 3 metry, s plasticky profilovanou zídkou poprsne a zaoblenými rohy. Strední sloup kašny je stylizovaný jako kmen palmy a obtocený ratolestí vinné révy. Vrcholek skulptury tvorí stojící postava vodního ptáka (patrne labute), která ze vztyceného zobáku tryská vodu vzhuru. Proud vody se otácí a stéká mezi listy koruny palmy dolu po kmeni."

The fountain is carved from quartz gray sandstone. The water reservoir has a square floor plan measuring 3 x 3 meters with plastic profiled parapet and rounded corners. Central column fountain is styled like a palm tree trunk and branches wrapped vine. The peak sculptures has a form of standing figure of the aquatic bird (probably a swan).
