A few more views. Spent the entire day on this, ~12 hours.

Slight color change
A view to a kill
Spent maybe too much time on the Fluid sim. Well, I learned something 
Pots and vines
Broken light. Used an array & path to make the chains.
What’s for dinner … oh, not again.
Altar without the goop
The steps are made using geo nodes. I think I spent most of my time making this tool.
This was fun.
Cheers,

Maybe some wire mesh too, so that students can see how few/many faces are involved?
Good idea.
Here you go.
Btw, this was the concept doodle
Three geo-node created levels
The arc is an extruded plane. I made some loop cuts to add some features. In sculpt mode, I re-meshed it, and added some defects into it.
I might try a different approach to make the columns. Make them rougher, rock like (Stonehenge). They don’t match the rest, like stairs or arc.
Low poly pots.
Ivy’s were made using the Ivy generator that comes with Blender.
Lamps and glowing goop are made from ico spheres. The goop was sculpted. The ring and links are based on a torus. The chain as such was made using an array and path.
The altar is based on a round cube. It comes with one of the add-ons Blender provides.
Fluid sim, not much to add. I could have added a decimate modifier
A side note, I used the decimate modifier a lot. I like the look it generates.
Cheers,
Ray.
