The basin rests on an octagonal piece that narrows to the shaft (dim. 0.3m; H 0.37m) which is modern. The shaft rests on an octagonal base (H 0.12m) which is also modern (total H 0.97m). two panels are decorated with faces in relief, a third has a shield with a plain cross and there is a small panel of vine-leaves (Roe 1968, 25-7).
