view of stoup
Scene Description: an object described in the Enciclopedia as an object that appears to be used as a holy-water stoup: "adosada al muro septentrional, se encuentra una pieza que ha sido mal interpretada como pila bautismal. Se trata de un bloque monolítico que ronda el metro de altura, de cuerpo prismático cuadrangular y remate superior en forma de copa, en el que han tallado dos pequeñas cabezas humanas de forma elemental y primitiva. Este elemento debe de proceder de la fábrica primitiva, pero fue sometido a una intervención para cumplir la función de benditera."

The baptismal font or stoup consists of a smallish bucket-shaped basin decorated with vertical piping [widely separated ribs] all around, a Latin cross on the front side; plain underbowl chamfer; circular stem with three mouldings, the top is flat, the other two rounded; on a circular plinth. [NB: the upper rim of the font is rough and it is possible it may have been re-cut]. The wooden cover is hinged at the back (wall side) and locks at the front into a staple that is located above the left arm of the cross. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/asturias_GRANDAS_DE_SALIME.pdf] [accessed 20 October 2022] makes reference to an object that appears to be used as a holy-water stoup: "adosada al muro septentrional, se encuentra una pieza que ha sido mal interpretada como pila bautismal. Se trata de un bloque monolítico que ronda el metro de altura, de cuerpo prismático cuadrangular y remate superior en forma de copa, en el que han tallado dos pequeñas cabezas humanas de forma elemental y primitiva. Este elemento debe de proceder de la fábrica primitiva, pero fue sometido a una intervención para cumplir la función de benditera." [cf. ImagesArea]
