The foundations of this extraordinary 2.20 m high "Indian Fountain" situated in the rosarium of Luisenstädtischer Kanal, Kreuzberg, were discovered during excavations at the site in 1993.
As the statue remained missing, it was reconstructed by the sculptor Gerald Matzner following the style and material of its historic model.

Crowned by a mysterious "bayadère", five circular levels tapered off towards the top surmount the two-tiered octogonal shaped basin.
My efforts to find an explanation for the statue's open back, protruding spine, or the noses right under her bottom have been unsuccessful so far. Who has any idea, please leave a comment!
