Described by Chastel (1966) as a wall-mounted 16th century holy-water stoup, "decor sculpte". The Dictionnaire des églises.. (1966- ), however, describes the stoup and the baptismal font in this church as being of the late Middle Ages and ornamented with low-relief scenes. On-site notes: the holy-water stoup located near the "cagots" entrance has a rather irregular round basin, roughly hemispherical, the underbowl chamfered, raised on a plain cylindrical upper base and a quasi-hemispheric inverted lower base with what appear to be either ball motifs or heads, very worn. There are scenes ornamenting the sides of the basin and underbowl, all rather crude and appearing very eroded [NB: on closer observation, however, it looks as if the work was never finished: some figures are clearly carved and the background surface is polished and finished, but other areas show sketched figures and the stone surface still rough]. The basin register displays (L->R): two doves facing each other; two goats at a tree; a hunting scene containing a horseman with a lance, a four-legged animal (dog?) facing right and biting the neck of another four-legged animal (boar?) and one other dog facing left. The underbowl register displays (L->R): two groups of two four-legged animals; two doves drinking from a fountain. [NB: it is as if a much less skilled carver had attempted to create a stoup along the general design of the baptismal font in this church, and given up halfway through in view of the results].
