Its four faces were decorated with steps made from both halves of shells. The water springs from the upper basin or urna, which was supplied by an internal fistula aquaria. When it is full, the water falls down the steps. It dates from the late Antonine or Severan age.</p> <!-- ## Maps <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/hispania_baetica/cordoba/filename.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> --> <!-- ## Plans <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/hispania_baetica/cordoba/filename.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> --> <!-- ## Images <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/hispania_baetica/cordoba/filename.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> --> <h2 id="bibliography">Bibliography</h2> <ul> <li>Mª L.

The first statue-fountain, in the Archaeological Museum of Cordoba, represents a marble female figure in the form of a nymph with a shell, similar to another found in a private collection, of which only the lower part with the remains of a shell still exists. The similarities between the two indicate their manufacture in a workshop in the city itself, which from the style suggests a date around the second century AD.</p> <!-- ## Maps <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/hispania_baetica/cordoba/filename.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> --> <!-- ## Plans <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/hispania_baetica/cordoba/filename.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> --> <!-- ## Images <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/hispania_baetica/cordoba/filename.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> </figcaption> </figure> --> <h2 id="bibliography">Bibliography</h2> <p>Mª L.
