Žemaičių Kalvarija

Bowl-shaped stones in Lithuania

Four bowl shaped stones (Keturi Akmenys su dubenėliais).
[Akmenys is the plural of Akmuo, stone ; dubenėliais means bowls.]

Exhibited in the nave of the church. I cannot provide any word of explanation.

The noticeable refinements (regularity of the lines, groves at top or bottom, relative smoothness of the surfaces) plead for a recent manufacture. Would they be baptismal fonts, or, more likely, stoups, designed in line with ancients traditions ?
