There is a stone vessel, perhpas a holy-water stoup, now built against a corner of the porch of the church; it consists of a rendered polygonal basin with several roughly carved heads, human and animal; the basin is raised on blocks forming a shapeless stem, and a squarish lower base; on the basin sides, the head at the front is definitely feline; the one at the extreme left appears human, as is the one on the extreme right; one other one looks like a fox' head.
