Included by Enlart (1902) in a list of French double-fonts; octagonal of Gothic style. Listed in Palissy [ref.: AP22W00806]: "Fonts baptismaux, vue générale [...] Granite [...] Base moulurée, pied hexagonal [...] H = 170 ; la = 97 ; Dimension du bassin d'écoulement : l = 33 [...] 15e siècle". The entry for this church in InfoBretagne [www.infobretagne.com/brelevenez-eglise.htm] [accessed 22 September 2020] notes: "La cuve des fonts baptismaux (XVème siècle) est ornée sur chaque face, de têtes d'anges sculptées et d'écussons martelés. Elle aurait été achetée au XIXème siècle à la paroisse de Plestin les Grèves pour la somme de 100 francs." The double font in use in this church was introduced in the 19th century from Plestin-les-Grèves, as stated in the Info-Bretagne [cf. supra]; contrary to the description in Palissy [cf. supra] the main basin is octagonal, both inside and out; the auxiliary basin has six sides, both inside and out, on the front of which is a demi-figure with a tonsured head holding a shield; there are heads on the sides of the larger basin; the support consists of two independent pillars, both octagonal and plain, their bases moulded. Only the large basin is covered, a flain and flat octagonal cover that appears modern.
