The Nile - Four River's Fountain - Pza. Navona jpg

The figure representing the Nile River on Bernini's "Four Rivers Fountain" is everyone's favorite.
The sack over his head is kind of a play on the fact that at the time the fountain was constructed (1648-51), the source , or head of the Nile was undiscovered.
Ttherefore the figure represting the Nile River has his head covered.
