Water Spout in the Form of a Makara
Water Spout in the Form of a Makara by unknown artist. The sculpture is made of stone and has a light brown color. The spout is roughly triangular in shape and tapers to a point at the top. The base of the sculpture is wider and has a flat surface with a hole in the center. On either side of the hole are two small human figures carved into the stone. Above the hole is a carved design resembling a shell or a spiral. The top portion of the sculpture features a carving that appears to be a makara, which is a mythical sea creature. The makara has a large mouth and a curved tail. The sculpture sits on a rectangular base. The background is a plain wall with a shadow cast by the sculpture.
