A baptismal font and two holy-water stoups are noted and illustrated in 7 Maravilhas da Igreja Matriz de Caminha [http://7matrizdecaminha.blogspot.com/2011/02/pias-de-agua-benta-e-baptismal.html] [accessed 29 December 2022]. Listed in SIPA [IPA.00004101] as a holy-water stoup in this church. One of two stoups in this church; this one consists of what appears to be a polygonal [hexagonal?] basin decorated with human heads, linked arch-heads, foliage and perhaps shields [cf. ImagesArea]; the underbowl has a crenellated (?) pattern all around; the round pedestal base is badly eroded and has mouldings at both ends.
