Holy-water stoup of stone consisting of a rectangular vasin with a rounded underbowl; the front side [i.e., facing east] has a pair of 5-pointed stars inscribed in circles on the sides of an unusual heart-shaped motif that has another motif inside, also heart-shaped and with two corcles in it; incised below it are the letters alpha and omega, the latter on its side resembling a serifed 'C'; the narrower sides of the basin [i.e., facing north and south] are decorated with panels; the back side of the basin [i.e., facing west] has been built into the wall, although the general design suggests that this side was not meant to be hidden; the base is a pedestal with a combination of motifs that appears to include a heart or shield in them, moulded below and becoming square at the lower end; another unusual feature of this stoup is the lead lining in the inner well.
