This sculpture features an animal that is probably intended to represent a dolphin...although it looks more like a fish..it has a fluke. On the right side of the dolphin is a nude young man sitting while he caresses the dolphin with his right hand...just as the nude young woman does on the left hand side. Water spills from the dolphins mouth into the basin.
There is no information at the site about the artist, title or date. It would appear to have been carved from sandstone.
