Statues are often associated with garden water fountains. Typical garden designs include: - fountain water from the mouths of men, women, fish and other animals - water from women's breasts (eg from the multi-breasted Diana in the garden of the Villa d'Este - a fountain jet on the head of a garden statue - a fountain jet in the hand of a statue - a fountain jet in another part of the garden or pond from which water falls on a statue
