The image displays a highly decorative public fountain wall, specifically identified as the Nejjarine Fountain (Sebil Nejjarine) located in Nejjarine Square within the Fes el-Bali medina of Fez, Morocco. The scene focuses on an ornate, multi-tiered structure bathed in bright daylight. At the top, a light-colored cornice is visible, from which a single grey, wall-mounted light fixture protrudes downwards. Below the cornice, a dark, scalloped frieze runs horizontally. The upper wall section features intricate calligraphic and curvilinear patterns in dark pigment on a lighter background. A prominent five-pointed star (pentagram) is centrally placed within this upper decoration, flanked by Arabic script and bearing the dates "1953" and "1373" (Hijri). Below this upper section, a large, pointed arch forms the central element. The interior of this arch is completely filled with elaborate zellij (ceramic mosaic tilework) forming complex geometric patterns. A large central medallion in deep blue, green, and yellow hues is surrounded by radiating star and polygonal motifs in a palette of blues, greens, yellows, browns, and off-white. Below the arch, a horizontal band of smaller, repetitive zellij patterns in blue, white, and maroon incorporates three dark, circular metal spouts, evenly spaced, indicating the water source. The base of the wall shows a stone lip or shallow basin, designed to collect water from the spouts. To the right of the main arch, a vertical panel exhibits a dense, repeating blue and white geometric tile pattern. No individuals are present in the frame, and no water flow is visibly active from the spouts. The tilework and overall structure appear to be in good condition.
