A statue of the goddess, originally holding an urn and pouring water into a vase, the goddess' hands now in empty gesture only. It has been moved on more than one occasion between the park and its original site in Fountain Square. No longer a fountain, the urn and vase were lost in relocations of 1920, 1974, and 2007.
