Lion pump

00

 This pump can be found in the courtyard of Amsterdam's former orphanage. (Now the Amsterdam Museum). First I had to look carefully to see if it was really a pump. It is artfully incorporated into the masonry facade. Would be nice to find this spirit back in our current buildings.

  1. Muy buena figura decorativa. En los últimos tiempos, no hay tanta decoración.

  6. Good to see there is a hook for hanging a bucket to collect water. Always good to see art incorporated into utilitarian objects.

  7. Im kind of thinking that the pump wasn't originally attached or a part of the lion, loving the new header btw
