Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Val-d'Oise (1999) as an oval font dated to 1524 thorugh an inscribed date on the basin side; the date is contained in a "cartouche" [=scroll] held by two grotesque male figures, their lower bodies locked inside cornucopia-type horns. The sides of the stem of the base are ornamented with foliage motifs, grotesque heads wearing "bonnets de fou" [=fool's hats]. The greenish colour of the stone gives the font the appearence of oxidated bronze. Listed by Enlart (1902) simply as a Renaissance pedestal font. It probably has two basin wells though this is not discernible from the source. Listed also in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ), where the ornamentation is described as grotesque human heads or heads of dolphins, and dated to the 16th century. Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM95000775] with date in the 16th century.
