A holy-water stoup probably from the region of Lamego. The sides have ribs organised in a helicoidal shape with two parallel rows of balls inserted between the ribs; the basin ends in a small ring that separates it from the short base which looks like a stumpy fluted column (description based on ill. in p. 217, Exposicion Mundial de Lisboa 1998, 1998)
