Can you help solve this mystery in Chamber 4 and the Holy Well? It appears the lady is removing an 'egg' from the well and placing it in the river. Any clues as to why appreciated.

Testing the direction of flow?

She has two more by her feet in the first pic & they appear to be a polystrene surround to make something inside float...

Could have possibly of been an old school way of measuring how long it takes for the water to travel from one place to the next (or rate of flow)... I am no expert and this is only a suggestion of what it may be... very interested to find out. It appears to me to be some kind of polystyrene float.
