The fountain is located in the open space in front of the former Kozmos restaurant. Fountains in Ružinov have always been sited near commercial and catering establishments or in parks, wherever residents congregate.
The fountain features a simple polygonal basin enclosed by a low wall with travertine tiling. The space includes a concrete-paved plateau and wide travertine and concrete benches, now neglected. The inner walls of the basin and the concrete base of the fountain have been painted in an unsuitable blue colour.
Inside the basin, Cosmic Stone, an austere stone sculpture, stands on a low concrete pedestal. The smoothly finished block has rounded corners, and a nozzle at its centre sprays a geyser of water that drains through a shallow trough. The object is minimalist and elegant.
The stone block’s original green colour, veining, and precise smooth working are no longer visible under the accumulation of limescale. A fragment of a mosaic tiling has been preserved on the basin wall.
