Octagonal stoup made all of one piece of a hard, marble-like stone; it has a single ball motif on each side of the basin, except on one of the sides, which appears to have a different motif [against the wall]; the centre ring and lower base imitate a metal ring with studs all around; the very bottom looks unfinished and was probably buried in the ground. [NB: the stoup may have originated in Salvatierra de Esca, perhaps in the (monasterio? / ermita?) of Santa Maria de Fuenfria?]
