Click to view
One of two holy-water stoups located at the entrance of the church; they appear to be composite objects consisting of a polygonal basin, perhaps a former capital, on a slender stem with a hieratic carved figure on the front, and a polygonal lower base. The basin sides on this one appear to be decorated with an arcade of pointed arches and shields. Is the figure meant to be one of the two patron saints of the church?
