One of four disused objects kept in a locked 'corral' at the west end of the San Martín church, in Capella. This one, which appears to be a holy-water stoup, consists of a very shallow round basin decorated with a pair of mouldings on the sides; the well is very shallow and has a concave ribbed pattern in it; no drain; the pedestal base is probably un-matched. No cover present
