Fontana del Mascherone di Santa Sabina (Rome)

3D Model

“It is made up of two pieces of reuse: a Roman thermal bath and the monumental marble mask, carved to decorate a fountain built in 1593 in the Campo Vaccino on a project by Giacomo della Porta. The ancient granite basin, adorned with bas-relief handles, is located in the center of a rectangular basin slightly recessed with respect to the street level. Above it, collected in the valve of a shell, there is the mask with frowning eyelashes and a thick mustache. This sculpture has a long history: after the dismantling of the Della Porta fountain in 1816, the mask was recovered and, starting from around 1827, it was again used to decorate a fountain erected on the right bank of the Tiber, in correspondence with the Leonine port” (Citation: http://www.sovraintendenzaroma.it/i_luoghi/roma_medioevale_e_moderna/fontane/fontana_in_piazza_pietro_d_illiria)
