One of two holy-water stoups which our source (Patrimoine..., Bas-Rhin, 1999, v. 1, p. 573) dates to the 13th century and reports as coming from the Romanesque church of St-Georges, demolished in 1788. They are both semicircular with large rib-like vertical bulges and appear to be covered in a thick coat of beige paint.
