A rare and imaginative creation by Cincinnati artist Ted Gantz, this bronze serpent fountain blends myth, movement, and function into a single sculptural form. The piece features a coiled snake rising upward, its head lifted with an expressive, open mouth. Along the face are a series of carefully drilled openings—designed for water to spout outward when the fountain is in use.
The serpent is mounted on a substantial base of polished granite slabs, giving the sculpture a sense of permanence and architectural weight. Discreet tubing runs through the form, channeling water from the base into the serpent’s head, allowing it to animate with a dramatic spray once installed. The patina of the bronze, with its aged verdigris finish, enhances the sense of timelessness and organic life.
At once striking and symbolic, this Gantz original was crafted to serve as both art and living fountain. Ideal for a garden, courtyard, or collection centerpiece, it exemplifies the artist’s ability to merge classical motifs with inventive design.
