The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Monument composé d'un tronçon de colonne cannelée élevé sur un socle rectangulaire. Le gros torse de la base est décoré de feuilles de laurier. Le sommet présente une végétation sculptée de plantes aquatiques. Quatre petites têtes de lion faisant saillie sur les faces du socle étaient sans doute destinées à livrer l'eau de la fontaine.

History
Monument composed of a section of fluted column raised on a rectangular base. The large shaft of the base is decorated with laurel leaves. The top presents sculpted vegetation of aquatic plants. Four small lion heads projecting on the faces of the base were no doubt intended to deliver the fountain water.
