Lasteyrie (1925-1926) describes an old rusted metal holy-water stoup located in a modest chapel in his home village, Le Saillant [Allassac]; he describes it as cylindrical in shape, made of cast iron, with two pivot handles and ornamented with High Gothic windows, the only stoup with such ornamentation he could report.
