How to Mark/Illustrate relative depth in Dungeon Maps?

The Frozen Lake - a story in three acts

Dungeon Level Symbols - Celtic Revival Room by Room
And these are the kinds of ideas that I need. All of them may not make it in, but the more ideas I get of what might be useful, the more complete the symbol set will be.
I fully recognize that this is too many ideas unless you’re going for a whole year’s worth of annuals, but here are some thoughts…
- Ornate staircases and steps - wooden, stone, marble - flare out at the base like for a grand ballroom, spiral staircase that simultaneously goes up and down (like Creepy Crypts), individual steps
- If you do outdoors stuff: Varicolor fruit trees, flowers, topiary
- Wizard/Library stuff - globe, astrolabe, mortar and pestle, telescopes, jewelers tools, cartography tools, quills and inkwells, spectacles, books and scrolls and scroll cases, crystal balls, wands and staffs
- Individual gems (so that one large gem could be a magical artifact, special treasure, etc)
- Rugs and carpets
- You touched on this earlier: varicolor design patterns and heraldry symbols like Marine Dungeons’
- Statues - PC/heroic figures types (fighters, mages, cloaked roguish figures, priest types), royalty/nobility types, animals, demons and angels, mythical creatures, large and small idols (I’m thinking both like the giant idol on the original D&D Players Handbook cover but also the small idol Indiana Jones steals)
- Gargoyles and grotesques, other architectural ornamentation (spires?)
- Wall ornamentation - pictures frames (could be portraits or mirrors), varicolor torches/sconces
- Flags and flagpoles, separate so can be mixed and matched (top down or jutting from wall)
- Siege equipment - catapults, ballistas, trebuchets, battering rams
- Bell tower stuff: bells, clock faces, gears
- Barn stuff: hay bales, saddles, horse shoes
