Mounted holy-water stoup consisting of a roughly bucket-shaped basin on a moulded circilar base; it is now located in the inner courtyard of the old Seminary of this town; below the damaged rim on which the rope moulding has been almost entirely oblterated, are sides decorated with human heads framed in garland arches ; mouldings all down the circular base; the object is generally in a poor condition with damage evident all over but especially around the upper rim.
