Näsikallion suihkukaivo, Art Nouveau fountain in Hämeenpuisto, Tampere, Finland.

The three-tiered granite fountain features bronze sculptures depicting figures from Finnish mythology and daily life arranged in distinct groups.

Commissioned by merchant Nikolai Tirkkonen in 1909, architect Birger Federley and sculptor Emil Wikström completed this fountain structure in 1913.

The main sculpture portrays Pohjanneito from the Finnish epic Kalevala, sitting on a rainbow while spinning golden thread above family scenes.

Located at the northern end of Hämeenpuisto park, the fountain displays intricate details through its bronze statues and water features.

The fountain's sculptures bear bullet marks from the 1918 Civil War battles that occurred around Näsikallo during the conflict.
