One of two magnificent marble holy-water stoups in the cathedral. Both are designed in the same general style, with the stoup itself -basin and base- rather subdued under the tall ornate backdrop and canopy. There are differences in the particular details of the ornamentation, the scenes represented in the backdrop and the figure of the finial. [We are grateful to Montserrat Estela, of Barcelona, Spain, for the images of this stoup]. [cf. Index entry for Palermo No. 3 for the other stoup, and for Palermo No. 4 for a magnificent baptismal font of the late 18th century in this church]
