The representation of India created by John Board on the 1887 Doulton Fountain on Glasgow Green. Designed for the 1888 International Exhibition, it's the largest terracotta fountain in the world. It features Queen Victoria at its summit, while at the bottom are representations of the four components of her empire: Australia, Canada, South Africa and India.

By the early 2000s, the fountain was in very poor shape and pretty much the only parts of this group which survived were the legs. However, in 2004, the entire fountain was repaired and restored, including recreating the missing parts of the India statues.
