Described and illustrated in Ferrando i Roig (1997: 150): a wall-mounted holy-water stoup decorated with a left hand on the underbowl. The source mentions that the stoup is no longer in the original place and too low on the wall to allow a view of the decoration; the bulding is dated to the 11th abd 12th centuries.
