Any Electricians or Electric Knowledgeable People Here?

Okay - I'm a dumb blond - well not really dumb - BUT I know nothing about this subject.

So I got this beautiful cherub fountain - it has 2 cords coming out of the base each with prong like things to stick into the electrical thing that would go in the electric socket. But I have no base - what would this thing be called so I can get a new one - and have a working fountain?

Make sense?? Thanks in advance.

1. Transformer?

2. Is that what it is called?

Really? If I do a net search on electrical supplies - I've got no idea what the name of the damn thing is I'm looking for!

4. Do you know the name of the manufacturer?

7. No - think it ws locally made

the cherub was made from a cement maker - who is now out of business, if this came from the place I think it came from.

10. You need one of these.

It reduces the voltage from the household current.

3. No base? Do the two prong like thingys look like standard

electrical plugs? Can you post any pictures or get any pictures to e-mail?
PM me if you have pictures, I can post them.

6. Got it for free

person couldn't find missing piece -

I just looked at transformers and it does look line one - the big black box part plugs into a socket/outlet - and at the end of the big black part there are 2 holes for the two prongs to fit into. The fountain has 2 cords from it - with switches to turn on/off fountain, I believe one may be for the water and one for the light - the 2 cords have 2 little tiny (I believe) prongs. God I wish I knew what I was talking about - I don't know if I could describe it any better or not.
