A 'sculptural' construct in the shape of a water fountain is installed now [2010] in a private residence near the church; the 'installation' appears to consist of a baptismal font with a holy-water stoup on top, and an additional column as finial; the basins of the purported stoup and font are similar, roughly hemispherical and decorated with a ribbed pattern all around; the base of the font has piping and moulding on it.
