The hoy-water stoup here appears to be a composite object consisting of an upper block that has a round basin with a square back probably meant to be wall mounted; the round front of the basin has five roll mouldings; on one of the sides appears to be a bird and some other smaller unidentified objects; it is raised on a quadrangular pedestal decorated with a round arch suppotred on columns with capitals and bases. We have no information on when this object was put together, or where the parts came from.
