LIsted by Enlart (1902) as a Renaissance octagonal font [NB: actually, square] Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: APMH047039]. The basin of the font is square at the top, plain on the sides with a crenellated band below, with very large artichoke-like fruits at the angles; the rest of the basin, which is roughly hemispherical in shape, is covered in a profusion of motifs, patterns and symbols, a sort of Renaissance jumbled 'horror vacui'; the short base consists of a foliated braid, with a round-to-square end that has four large claws forming the corners, and beaded and ribbed patterns between them.
