Holy-Water Stoup

In the Pistoia holy-water stoup, on the other hand (which also belongs to the group of controversial sculptures from the extremely productive “workshop of Nicola”), the imprint of the master's style is predominant, above all in the calm and absorbed female figures that adorn the bowl and, further, in the most elegant architectural rhythm of the whole piece.
