Vilac No. 2 / Vilach

Noted by Gudiol (2008) in his 1907 visit. Described in Durliat (1978). Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ), which also points out the large proportions of the object, more appropriate to those of a baptismal font ["grans proporcions, més pròpies gairebé d'una pica baptismal"]. On-site notes: dark local marble holy-water stoup of larger than usual proportions for this area, as big as some baptismal fonts of this valley; the basin is roughly hemispherical with a band of notches around its middle resembling concave trapezoidal parallelograms; another row below it, this one of convex ball motif. The stem of the base consists of a central cylindrical shaft and four semi-detached corner colonnettes. Evidence of the original iron staples of the cover on the upper rim of the basin. Was it a baptismal font originally?
