Antique Oval Limestone Trough with Fluted Sides Standing on a Pedestal
Stock No. 21758
Latin inscription to the pedestal. This could be adapted for use as a water feature.
We believe the latin translates as follows; Aqua saliens in vitam aeter, translating to English as ‘water, springing up to life everlasting strength’ . Die Martii translates to ‘on March’. XI translates to 11. Ano translates to year, below that is too worn to make out.
There is a small Maltese cross above ‘Die Martii’. This item was purchased from a house in Canterbury, England. The history prior to that is unknown.
