A fountain outside of the Hradcany summer palace, demonstrating the anatomic functioning of small boys, a standard educational feature of European fountains, not normally found with US fountains.

Here we have it all in a statue in the fantastical Wallenstein Garden. Lactation, drooling, micturition. What more can you ask?

European fountains are generally anatomically correct. Usually it's cherubs peeing; sometimes it's mothers lactating. This one is in motion, phalli waggling, hips swiveling, in front of a pizza place north of the 3 Ostriches Hotel. The men and women who took notice didn't stay long; the women often laughed, a humbling thing for a guy, for we don't laugh at the statues of nude women...
