Noted and illustrated in Carletti & Giometti (2010) as a wall-mounted Romanesque holy-water stoup of the late-11th or early-12th century decorated with two large ram heads at the upper angles, and a sketchy quadruped in passant-regardant pose; the latter is identified in this source as a lamb, a religious symbol of easy identification by the faithful [="simbolo religioso immediatamente decifrabile dai fedeli"] [after Testi Cristiani, 2005: 161].
