Naiad fountain

Description
Hello folks,

If you like my work, don't forget to rate and feel free to comment, your feedbacks are very important to me.

Here for you a new fountain to beautify your plazas, old town squares, parks, market place or gardens ... enjoy it.

In Greek mythology, the Naiads are a type of female spirit, or nymph, presiding over fountains, wells, springs, streams, brooks and other bodies of fresh water. Naiads were associated with fresh water, as the Oceanids were with saltwater and the Nereids specifically with the Mediterranean, but because the ancient Greeks thought of the world's waters as all one system, which percolated in from the sea in deep cavernous spaces within the earth, there was some overlap. Arethusa, the nymph of a spring, could make her way through subterranean flows from the Peloponnesus to surface on the island of Sicily.

Neoclassical statue of a Naiad, also called Pupporona from locals because of her discovered breast. It's one of the symbols of the town widely used to get potable water and it's located in the Misericordia square in Lucca, Tuscany, Italy. This fountain is in marble and was made by Nottolini in 1787-1851.

I optimized as usual the statue to lower the amount of tris for a reasonable amount to make it easy for the game. I reworked totally the base from the original.

Credit goes to andrea.notarstefano that blessed us with this amazing statue in Sketchfab.

Special thanks to Raccoon for his habitual kindness and help.

You can search for it in findit mod by "Naiad" or "fountain".

Many more coming soon so stay tuned.

I am a workshop addicted so I browse it quite often. I'm not stalking you Don, but have been the first one to comment many times. That's because I always thought statues were a neglected area in this fantastic amount of assets we have in this game. Well...I'm not stopping now. Thank you again mate. Fantastic additions.
