1848-1860, by John Bateman. Rock-faced coursed stone; chisel dressed
to portals. Semi-circular retaining wall of approximately 1Om diameter
and 1.5m high. Built against embankment with double-headed Chinese,
block-constructed portals at either end. Life-size, painted plaster
sculpture of Brahmin Cow placed over wall at centre of semi-circle
(shown with canopy cover in Country Life article of 1905); 2 serpent
forms are cut into the lawn in front of the retaining wall. Forms
part of Chinese Garden perambulation - the rather ridiculous animal
forms are typical of Bateman's sense of humour, as seen also in the
Tea House (q.v.). The cow was made on the site by the sculptor,
Waterhouse Hawkins.
