Bagheera Fountain, Bronze sculpture fountain in Public Garden, Boston, United States.
The fountain features a bronze mountain lion lunging toward an owl in flight, mounted on a polished granite base measuring 57 inches tall.
Created by artist Lilian Swann Saarinen in 1939, the fountain was first displayed at the New York World's Fair under the title Night.
The fountain depicts Bagheera, the panther from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, representing the theme of escape from captivity.
Visitors can reach the fountain by entering through the Haffenreffer Walk gate and following the paths while keeping the lagoon in view.
The fountain stands as part of Boston's Women's Heritage Trail, showcasing Saarinen's specialized work in animal statues and public art.
