Probably a holy-water stoup, consisting of a square basin decorated with executed chequered and foliage motifs on the sides; the basin well is round; on an equally crude base consisting of a round stem and a round-to-square lower base, with an attempt at motifs at the angles. Stoup listed in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/soria_NAFRÍA_LA_LLANA.pdf] [accessed 31 August 2025] as a crude vessel of Romanesque pedigree: "creemos que es románica la pila aguabenditera, aunque ésta sí es mucho más tosca. Se compone de una base cuadrangular, fuste cilíndrico y vaso igualmente cuadrangular, aunque con el vaciado hemisférico. Está tallada en una sola pieza caliza, de 79 cm de altura y la decoración se concentra en el vaso, con estrecha banda segmentada bajo la que aparecen unas rudimentarias hojas, que en los ángulos quieren formar volutas." [cf. BSI entry for Nafria la Llana No. 1 for a much more competent font of the Romanesque period]
