How would you tag this fountain I photographed the other day?

The water is not potable, the stream of water cannot be interrupted and 
definitely is not a decorative fountain.

it is a historic fountain

Historic? I think 'old' is the only thing that can be determined from the photo?


that IMHO clearly is decorative, that stuff in the background doesn’t seem to 
be there by incident. Maybe it is also a historic watering place (seems small 
for this)? Not knowing the context I cannot tell you for sure what it is. 
amenity=fountain doesn’t seem off. Many “decorative” fountains also had utility.


I don't think the stream of water is the most useful feature .. it is the water in the trough for animals to drink from .. horses, donkeys .. etc.. I am assuming the lower structure contains some level of water simply by its shape.
