On-site notes: mounted on the wall of the north transept is a holy-water stoup which appears to have been a larger object -as if it had been orizontally sliced from it- related stylistically to the 16th-century stoup in the same church [cf. Index entry for Luz-Saint-Sauveur No. 3]. The basin sides still visible show two registers with partial motifs and symbols: the upper register has a part of a cross, part of Christ's monogram and part of what could be some Instruments of the Passion motif; the lower register has also some upper halves of motifs some of which we were not able to recognise, although others, like the pair of crossed keys, seem to replicate those on the other stoup [listed in this Index as Luz... No. 3].
