The image displays a light-colored stone structure, identified as a public water fountain (sabeel) or a tomb entrance, located in Sarouja Municipality, Syria. The upper section features a white marble slab inscribed with black Arabic calligraphy, including a dedication to "Bassam Najmuddin Antakieh" and the dates 2011 CE and 1432 AH. Below this slab is an arched recess constructed from similar stone. The upper portion of the arch contains intricate black Arabic calligraphy on a dark, curved background, likely Quranic verses. The lower section of the recess is secured by a black metal grate with vertical and horizontal bars. Inside, a small red spigot is visible on the back wall, positioned above a reflective metal basin. A metal chain hangs downwards, possibly for a drinking vessel or faucet operation. The structure's primary material is rough-hewn, light-colored stone blocks, exhibiting minor signs of wear and weathering. To the right, additional similar stone structures with Arabic inscriptions, possibly grave markers, are partially visible. A black metal fence or railing is present at the top, behind which green foliage and a clear blue sky are discernible. No individuals are present in the scene.
