Description   

The Prometheus Fountain is, by far, the most familiar of all of Manship's work, but it's atypical of his style and he himself did not care for it.
In greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan, and he created human kind from clay. He also taught metallurgy and brought fire to the humans.
