A holy-water stoup of stone standing inside the church, by the west entranceway, south side; it consists of a plain square basin with a chamfered underbowl to a moulded square lower end, raised on a square capital with three carved sides, one rough, as if intended originally to fit into a wall or a blind spot; the carved sides have fabulous half avian-half human figures, their wings angel-like.
