A font or stoup consisting of a plain round basin raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a moulded lower base; the two upper pieces are definitely modern [or have been greatly re-tooled recently], but the lower block could be earlier, perhaps a shaft basament, an up turned capital or even a mortar.
