Piccaninny
John Dowie AM
The Piccaninny drinking fountain by sculptor John Dowie dates from 1960.
The modest scale sculpture depicts a crouching Aboriginal girl with a coolamon-like bowl on her head acting as the water container for the drinking fountain.
You'll find Piccaninny in Rymill Park/ Murlawirrapurka, located behind the Adelaide Bowling Club. Enter via Dequetteville Terrace.
