Font Notes: Click to view

Listed by Enlart (1902) under "Verneuil" in a group of circular unmounted fonts of the 12th century; it is ornamented with a blind arcade. Huard (1928) dates this font as pre-12th century. In Pudelko (1932, Tafl. III), the font appears mounted on a broad base, obviously a different and independent piece, which has animal heads at 90-degree angles. In appearance at least, the two parts do not seem to match. Listed also in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) as a baptismal font of the 12th century. Lasteyrie (1929) describes and illustrates the font as one of the many vat-like unmounted fonts of this period, this one ornamented with a blind arcade of tall round arches and what appears to be foliage motif at the upper rim side. Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: APMH046500, APMH0058561]: "Fonts baptimaux [...] 12e siècle". The medieval tub font is raised on a base that is at all appearances a later addition: it has four fabulous animal or monster protomes set at 90-degree angles. The font cover is round, with a multi-apsed church in it; is it metal?
