Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 15th-century Marquise font. The basin is rectangular but with the corners trimmed off; there appear to be no ornamentation on the basin sides [source not clear]; the chamfer is made of a moulding and the lower part, the underbowl proper has foliage motif ornamentation, a huma head and at least one four-legged animal; the base is made of a central pedestal adorned with several mouldings and four more slender colonnettes at the corners, all five of them appear octagonal. Lasteyrie (1926-1927) mentions it in a footnote together with the font at Fescamps, after Enlart. The databse Mémoire has an entry for a photograph of the font [ref.: APMH00013175] [https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/memoire/APMH00013175] [accessed 14 August 2022], "Négatif noir et blanc ; support verre MH0013175" by the "Neurdein frères", but the image appears not to be available at this time [broken link?]. Also listed in Palissy [ref.: PM62004882] is a wall-mounted 15th-century holy-water stoup, but the image is equally unavailable.
