An object displayed in the Leskovac National Museum / Narodni muzej Leskovac as "Holy (Epiphany) water vessel, 15th-16th century. Stone, Leskovac, locality Hisar/ Posuda za osveštanu (bogojavljensku) vodu, 15-16 vek. Kamen, Leskovac, lokalitet Hisar." Two of these are photographed inside the museum: one is much damaged, the other whole; they appear roughly bucket-shaped; the depth of the vessels does not fit that of most holy-water stoups; they were probably mortars of some sort.
