Holy-water stoup wall-mounted on the inside of the door mullion at the main entranceway; the basin is round, almost cylindrical, with a rounded underbowl; the whole outer surface is profusely decorated; the rim of the basin has an intricate pattern but it is much eroded; the sides of the basin have two main symbols: a fleurdelisée cross with a branched lower part and a Tree-of-life; the lower end of the basin has a band of vine or scroll pattern all around, and the underbowl is also decorated; the mullion on which the stoup is mounted has an indentation above the stoup topped with a foliage motif; the mullion part below the stoup is also indented and decorated with a moulded base, as if it were a column.
