Dolphin Boy This iron fountain centerpiece shows a figure that is half boy and half dolphin. Bulrushes decorate the figure. The centerpiece is 32" high and 14" in diameter. It is probably American in origin; the maker is unknown.
This fountain centerpiece was found in the center of the gazebo at the Ball's Indianapolis home. It was not attached. Nick Clark brought it back to Minnetrista in October of 1986.
The Dolphin Boy is presently situated in the Rose Garden, east of the Gazebo.
