Bagheera Fountain is a 1939 fountain by Lilian Swann Saarinen, installed in Boston's Public Garden, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1894), the fountain features a bronze sculpture of a mountain lion and owl, measuring approximately 32 x 16 x 16 in. The statue rests on a polished granite base that is approximately 57 in. tall and has a diameter of 60 in. The fountain was surveyed as part of the Smithsonian Institution's " Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993. [1]
