Notes
The work [The Water Nymphs] was commissioned by the Executive Committee of the Transvaal Provincial Administration for the Board of Public Resorts. The sculpture was erected on the site of the original warm springs source at the Forever Resort in Bela Bela. The sculpture symbolises the healing power of the warm mineral springs by means of a water nymph granting the healing water out of oyster shells and two swimming nymphs, demonstrating the energy and vitality received from the healing water.
