Among the many objects displayed in the cloister of the Monastery [which now serves as museum] is a holy-water stoup, originally wall-mounted, with a basin in the shape of an open sea shell; the part that was embeded in the wasll is quadrangular and plain, as would be expected. It appears to be of the 16th or 17th century.
