Present on the fountain page;

Styles?

nasone 'style' Literally meaning "large nose"

toret 'style'  The water is running out of an iron cast bull's head.

roman_wolf 'style'  water is running out of an iron cast wolf's head and 
for easier drinking there is a hole on the top where the water ejects 
when you cap the lower hole.

wallace 'style' green cast iron Possibly these could have 
designer=wallace?, material=cast_iron and colour=green


Material?

stone_block - 'material' .. so use the key material?


Water delivery?

nozzle

mist

bubbler

splash_pad
