Fountain Spout
This 16th-century marble fountain spout is a work of remarkable rarity and quality. It depicts a grotesque figure sculpted with striking naturalism, typical of the symbolic motifs associated with spring and water deities in antiquity. Designed for a utilitarian function, the opening at the spout allowed water to flow, giving it a lively and dramatic appearance when in operation. This type of feature was often incorporated into monumental hydraulic works.
