This object appears to be a holy-water stoup but it may now be serving as baptismal font replacing the one disused outside the church [cf. BSI entry for Riobo en Cabana de Bergantinos Nos. 1]; it consists of a roughly bucket-shaped basin decorated with a ribbed pattern all around, the ribs very narrow and rather flat; raised n a pedestal base of two volumes with a centre ring moulding. No cover present. [NB: there are two other objects of interest listed in BSI as Riobo en Cabana de Bergantinos Nos. 1 and 3]
