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. Is the figure meant to be one of the two patron saints of the church?
