A copy of a photograph by Jaime Delgado Gómez dated 1992 is documented in the Oficina de Turismo at Sárria, Lugo province; the caption reads: "Pila de agua bendita de Cortes (Paradela) Comarca de Sárria [--] Vendida en los años 90" [= holy-water stoup from Cortes (Paradela), Sárria region. Sold in the 1990s]. The object appears to be a former granite capital, the upper square hollowed for use as a stoup; the sides of this square upper half appear decorated with a Greek cross in a circle and perhaps a 5-point star in a circle, with scrolls rght and left, as well as another such -or a vine?- forming the lower rim.
