The best of worldwide television programming has been rewarded with the Golden Nymphs statuettes, copies of the “Salmacis” Nymph by the Monegasque sculptor François Joseph Bosio (1768-1845), the original of which is on show at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
In fact, S. salmacis was named for Salmacis of Ovid's tale; this is an allusion to the slight difference between males and females when compared to other Scleromystax.
