'Fame' borne by Pegasus.
Sculptor: Andrew Carpenter (c.1676-1737).
Year of creation:1705
This example was probably cast using Montgomeryshire lead from the Llangynog mines owned by the Powis family. Its original position at Powis was as the centrepiece of a fountain in the Baroque water gardens at the foot of the garden terraces which had been largely completed by 1705. The water garden was demolished between 1801 and 1809, and the statue was then moved and re- sited into the courtyard. The sculpture was restored in 1987.
