Made of hand-cut Italian marble, the fountain was restored by internationally recognized Fairplay Stonecarvers of Oberlin. The fountain is topped by a bronze figure of an angel playing with a dolphin, a replica of the ca. 1470 sculpture by the master Andrea del Verrocchio (1435-1488) atop the fountain in the courtyard of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
