DescriptionIn front of a vast prairie landscape, a circular stone basin is in the foreground with cracks present and weeds pushing through. On the left side, attached to the basin, a stone foundation supports ornately decorated columns leading to a classical-design stone roof. Two unidentifiable stone animals with faces cling to the stone and stand on the roof respectively. In the distance heavy rain falls from large clouds on to rolling mounds and a dark tree line.
