English: Stone Detail From Gadara's Nymphaeum. This decorative trim from Gadara's ancient Nymphaeum (a public fountain that gets its name from the ancient Roman belief that nymphs inhabited streams and waterways) is large -- over four feet high and about eight feet long. What struck me was not just the ornate carving in the large marble stone but the fact that the sculptors bothered to engrave an elaborate decoration into the top of the stone, where it would never be seen since it would be covered with other stones. My guess is that the elaborate braid design was a type of artist's or workshop's logo.
