About the Item

This exceptional Carrara marble fountain is a rare and elegant piece, featuring a beautifully preserved eight-pointed star-shaped drainage stone, known as the Star of Ishtar or Inanna. This ancient symbol, representing the Sumerian goddess Inanna and her Semitic counterpart Ishtar, adds a layer of historical and mystical significance to the piece. Remarkably intact, the drainage stone was likely embedded in the ground, ensuring the seamless flow of water. Renowned for its brilliance and refined veining, Carrara marble has been the material of choice for some of the world’s greatest sculptures and architectural masterpieces. Quarried in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, this prestigious natural stone embodies timeless elegance and craftsmanship. Measuring 59 cm in height and 60 cm in diameter, this fountain is both a functional and decorative statement piece, ideal for a courtyard, garden, or interior space, where it can bring a sense of history, artistry, and serenity.
