Martinez Tejera (2005) illustrates and remarks on a holy-water stoup in the parish church at Valdebasta, but originally from the monastery church of San Miguel de Escalada. This source notes that the old monastery church served as a parish church before 1634. The object is actually a foliated capital hollow out to serve as stoup.
