This rippling design allows for a very unique water flow. The water softly bubbles from the top cascading down the sides into the deep rippling designs until finally coming to rest in the basin below. While the fountain may appear to be stone, don’t be fooled, it is actually made from strong durable fiberglass that is easy to assemble. Pump is included. (8 Inch tall Gnome NOT included, pictured to show proportion only)
