Step into a world of myth and meaning with this extraordinary sculptural fountain—an unmistakable one-of-a-kind piece unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. Crafted by Cincinnati artist Ted Gantz and saved from the iconic Fleischmann Estate, this fountain features an elaborate backdrop of interwoven dragons—each with expressive heads, scaled torsos, and looping tails forming continuous ring motifs. These serpentine creatures seem to emerge from folklore, echoing the image of an ouroboros, which is a powerful symbol of eternity, transformation, and the cyclical nature of life—a reminder that endings are also beginnings.
The dragons are cast aluminum, richly patinated and textured with scaled armor, flowing manes, and ornamental collars. The basin is made of weathered stone or cast stone and bears the weight and detail of a truly monumental piece.
