Mary Schenley Memorial Fountain, Bronze and granite fountain in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, United States.
The fountain features two bronze figures: a reclining Pan and a female musician with a lyre, while four turtles spout water into the basin.
Victor David Brenner, creator of the Lincoln cent design, constructed this memorial fountain in 1918 to honor Pittsburgh philanthropist Mary Schenley.
The inscription 'A Song of Nature' reflects the artistic representation of harmony between humanity and earth through classical mythological figures.
Located at the entrance of Schenley Park near the University of Pittsburgh's Frick Fine Arts Building, the fountain remains illuminated during evening hours.
The fountain's bronze turtles required extensive restoration work in 2008 to remove white mineral deposits that had accumulated over decades.
