No patrimony listing found for this object. It is the second of two crude holy-water stoups made of granite and located at the end of the nave, by the west entranceway; this one, on the north side, consists of a basin that appears to have been cut from round, leaving the east and west sides of the basin flat; the base is obviously a makeshift one, a round-ish pedestal decorated with a roll moulding, a part of it painted blue; the pieces do not seem to belong together. Was the basin originally a font?
