tiered fountain

Stacked basin sculpture

A tiered fountain is a decorative water feature with multiple levels stacked vertically, water cascading from the highest basin down through progressively larger ones below.

Common in formal gardens, courtyards, and public squares, tiered fountains range from modest two-level designs to elaborate multi-story structures: A stone tiered fountain anchored the plaza.
