On-site notes: this object may be a reduced version of the original, since it appears to have los the stem of the base. The coarse-granite basin is roughly hemispheric and plain, with what appears to be a patched/sealed drain hole at the centre basin well. The base is aquare at the bottom and has foliage motifs at the corners and sides. This object may have been a baptismal font from another church in the area, but it is now used as a holy-water stoup here.
