Holy-water stoup located at the W end of the nave; appears to be a composite object, perhaps even two stoups stacked; the basin proper is roughly hemispherical and plain; while the base is formed of an upper cylindrical stem, then a square volume, then an irregular one, then another cylindrical stem. [cf. Index entries for Beuda No. 1 for a very interesting Romanesque baptismal font, and Beuda No. 3, for a wall-mounted stoup in the same church]
