Salisbury Cathedral Font

Installed in 2008, the font in the center of Salisbury Cathedral was created by British sculptor William Pye. The cruciform-shaped bowl holds a still, mirror-like volume of water, reflecting the ceiling vaults and stained glass around the cathedral. Water pours constantly from the four arms of the bowl into a bronze grate below. 

From the William Pye web site: "Here two contrasting aspects of water are woven seamlessly together: stillness expressed in the reflecting surface, and the flow and movement though the spouts expressing its essential life giving properties."
