Noted and illustrated in the BALaT database, KIK-IRPA, Brussels (Belgium), as a holy-water stoup of the 16th century; it consists of an octagonal basin of blue limestone with four human heads at 90 degree angles; the sides of the basin showing several mouldings and an inscription with the date 1590 that runs around the underbowl chamfer of the basin, just above a pronounced rope moulding; raised on an octagonal-to-square base. Uncharacteristically it has a tallish metal cover of multiple mouldings, with an orb-and-radiant-cross finial.
