Holy-water stoup consisting of a round tapering basin decorated with a deeply-carved hunting scene (?) set in a vegetal background, raised on a round shaft with torsade decoration, and a round-to-square lower base decorated with two thick roll mouldings, below which is a series of animals or monsters with heads towards the angles of the square. Unusually for stoups, the basin here is lead-lined. [NB: the position of the stoup appears to have changed, and the faces of the basin rotated between our two source images: one in 2003, the later one in 2010].
