Bronze bedside holy water stoup, 17th century
This water stoup is made of a cylindrical tank bulged by two strips ornamented with chased curly decorations. The opening presents a small flared edge, and a tiny circle serves as a foot. Two rectangular attachments hold a stetched arced handle with a mobile eyelet at its top.
Very good condition, a tiny distortion on the edge of the opening (see pictures).
