Monolithic holy-water stoup located at the bottom of the stairs leading to the west gallery; it has three distinct volumes: a roughly hemispherical basin with a gadrooned interior, a slender pedestal stem of quadrangular shape and a base where the pedestal integrates a quadruped, probably a bear to judge by the shape of the body and head [NB: bears were not an uncommon occurrence in the mountainous areas of Galicia]. [NB: there are two other objects of interest listed in BSI as Riobo en Cabana de Bergantinos Nos. 1 and 2]
