In the baptistery chapel in which the old font was moved [cf. Index entry for Seo de Urgel No. 1], in a corner, there is an object that resembles a holy-water stoup; it consists of a shallow quadrangular basin (?) with a flat moulding around the top, and floral motifs on the sides; it is raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base. [NB: we have no corroboration that this object is indeed a stoup].
