Standing before our raid party was a large round marble fountain surrounded by its very own iron fencing as if whoever designed it had predicted that the cemetery would one day be invaded by supernatural forces. It was typical in its design—the usual tiered basin with angel and dove motif—except for the familiar carving etched on the fountain's tower just above where the water filled the first basin. This carving was noticeable not just because it didn't quite fit the rest of the iconography of the fountain, but also because I was very familiar with the three interlocking triangles arranged to form a much larger triangle.
