Illustrated in Sancho Campo (1971). Described in Martín González (1977) as a holy-water stoup of the Renaissance period. Illustrated in Ayarza (1998): a holy-water stoup consisting of two parts: a plain polygonal dark-stone basin of small proportions is mounted on a small but beautifully carved capital of much lighter stone; they are both side mounted on the third column from the altar on the north side of the nave. The "base", i.e., the capital, has three roll-like cylinders set horizontally around the upper rim; these cylinders are ornamented with a single motif each: the west side a Malta cross; the south side a straight bar; through these cylinders runs a thick rope; on the east and west sides of this base, are demi human figures, atlante-like, holding to the rope with both arms; the south side of the capital has a large human face.
