Round holy-water stoup of shallow hemispherical shape; unknown origin (?) now in the Santa Giulia museum of Brescia; described in the museum label as made of marble from Vezza d'Oglio and dated to the second half of the 12th century. The exterior has a flat moulding followed down by two roll mouldings of decreasing size, while the underbowl is completely covered in a vine populated by several birds picking at fruit. The museum label suggests the holes present in the object may indicate its use as a fountain bowl at some point. The stoup shows a large crack, obviously repaired now.
