Marble fountain.

Marble fountain.
More of my Pompei series.
******************************
The key elements in the water supply for the inhabitants of Pompeii were the 40 street fountains; almost all were equipped with a spout (plus a small sculpture) and a square or rectangular basin. Its overflow water went into the drain (where present). Some (all?) fountains were equipped with a hole just above the bottom, to be used during cleaning actionshttp://www.romanaqueducts.info/aquasite/pompeii/index.html

It reminds me of one of the most fantastic trips I have ever taken: the one to Pompeii and Ercolano. Thanks for sharing, Annemarie;
