Click to view
Stone holy-water stoup inside the church, by the entranceway; round basin with broad ribs or piping all around, a circular platform below and a tapering underbowl with fluting all around; stands on a pedestal base of square shape with broad fluted on the sides and narrow ones at the angles; the basin and the base may have been originally one piece, unless the base was made later to match the irregular bottom of the basin. There is an odd indentation in one of the lobes of the basin side, as if it had been made to house a lock, a common enough feature on fonts but very rare on stoups. Or was this another object later re-cycled as a stoup? Probably medieval. [cf. BSI entry for Hontangas No. 1 for the baptismal font in this church]
