Holy-water stoup consisting of a large capital-shaped basin decorated with foliated motifs, fabulous avians with open wings in the manner of cherubs in the corners, and at least one human-face mascaron; raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base, and a small round-to-octagonal lower base. The holy water is contained now in stainless steel basin inserts.
