According to Jashemski, when the fountain was excavated there was a pedestal in the niche, in which stood a statue of Mars.

This is now in Naples Archaeological Museum, inventory number 126249, Ruesch: 1924.

Below on the pedestal was a mask of a woman, which was bordered with mosaic and coloured marble, from which the water jetted.
