MYT-LOC-642
The Southern Fountain Sleeper is a colossal horned stone figure positioned beside the southern fountain within the Inner Conservatory Gardens. Extensive weathering moss growth and established flowering vines indicate the figure has remained in place for a considerable period. Unlike decorative statuary found elsewhere in the conservatory the Sleeper forms a deliberate part of the garden's design and preservation layout. The figure is maintained in situ and surrounded by protected planting zones that have adapted to its presence over time. Surface examination has revealed no evidence of structural carving marks consistent with modern fabrication. The Sleeper remains one of the largest preserved figures within the conservatory and continues to serve as a focal point for both botanical growth and long-term observation.
