There are two objects of our interest in this 'ermita' [rural church or chapel]: 1)a roughly-hemispherical shaped basin of stone mounted on the west wall of the nave, on its east-facing side; the crude decoration covers the the upper half of the sides, with two rows of zigzag followed down by two rows of squares; 2)a round tapering holy-water stoup mounted on the south-facing side of the west wall of the nave; the rim has a flat moulding decorated with a band of zigzag, the sides with a pair of mouldings. Both objects look like the work of local hands, and appear to be much older than the documented mention of this church in 1613.
