      Also noteworthy is the six-sided ceiling of the fountain, decorated with reliefs depicting the four-field coat of arms of Świdnica, the double-headed imperial eagle, the lion - the symbol of the Bohemian Kingdom, the Silesian eagle, the tabard coat of arms of the then starost of the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawów, Hans Anton von Schaffgotsch, and a Latin inscription which reads in Polish: "This fountain rebuilt and decorated at the expense of the city. 1732." Interestingly, in the past in Silesia Neptune was affectionately called "Jurek with the pitchfork" - "Gabeljürge". Even some postcards with the image of the sea god bore the inscription: Neptune Fountain "Gabeljürge".
