Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM08000452] as a stone font of the 12th century. Illustrated in Collin (1981: plates 29-31). Described and illustrated in Drake (2002: 176, etc.) The basin is round with four protruding heads carved at the corners; all faces are bearded and two of them, at opposite ends, wear a crown with a pattée cross on it. The basin sides between the faces are adorned as follows: 1) four-legged animal with a studded collar facing left, 2) two palm motifs in circular design, 3) intersecting circles have motifs in the area comprised in the intersection, in the rightmost, a cross, and 4) a bird in profile facing left, followed by a human bust [identified in Drake (ibid., p. 46) as an angel]. The necks of the corner figures continue on the underbowl which appears otherwise plain, and nay have been the place where the angle colonnettes went [or so the design would indicate]. The upper base is a broad column and the lower base is made up of an upper rounded base proper with coin-and-band ornamentation at the corners and a lower plain square plinth [the 'coin' would be the base of the angle colonnettes, or so the design would indicate]. The wooden cover looks old and the metal staples in the rim appear original.
