design element - motifs - foliage

Scene Description: four large leaves; there probably was one in the centre but at some point the area was damaged and patched up; the patch happens to be towards the upper rim, right in the centre, which may indicate there was a staple or lock for a cover there at some point

Workshop/Group/Artisan: Marquise font / Boulonnais font
Church Notes: church re-built (?) 1887/1888 -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: IA00062402]
Enlart (1890) and (1902) describes this as a 12th-century Marquise font on a 5-support base; his 1890 article is illustrated with a drawing in which the base is a cluster of five attached columns, one broad central shaft and four angle colonnettes. Palissy [ref.: PM62000487] lists describes also a 12th-century font consisting of a quadrangular basin supported on a central shaft with four constructional angle colonnettes: "Pilier cylindrique cantonnée de quatre colonnettes engagées et supportant une cuve quadrangulaire." A later entry for this font also in Palissy [ref.: IM62000670] reads: "Fonts à socle et cuve de plan carré liés par un fût de section circulaire [...] 2e moitié 12e siècle"; it does not mention the angle colonnettes of the base at all. Noted in 'Cuves baptismales et fonts baptismaux : évolution formelle avant le XVIe siècle' [www.culture.gouv.fr/documentation/memoire/CATALOGUES/fontsbapt/fontsbapt_histav16e/html/fontsbapt_histav16e.html] [accessed 8 April 2016] [NB: this entry classes the font as having a single shaft in the base, but it was not always so]. Described in Oursel (1994: 231) as an advanced example of the type. In Drake (2002), who lists it under the multiple-support group [NB: Drake's illustrations of Carly and Hesdres have been reversed by the printer]. On-site notes: beautiful font made of a local limestone known as 'pierre de Marquise' by the Boulogne workshops; the ornamentation of the basin consists of 1)a central tree (?) motif with acanthus leaves on the sides; 2)a single tendril of vine; 3) and 4)ornate leaf motif on both; two old metal staples remain in the upper surface of the basin at opposite ends, which would have been used to lock an earlier cover in conjunction with a long iron cross-bar; underbowl corners -where the top of the outer colonnettes of the base would have fitted- decorated with large leaves; the lower base has now cushioning where the corner columns would have gone. At some point in the past a marble basin insert was cemented onto the inner well of the basin.
