La cuve est formée d'une coupe ornée de sculptures sur ses diverses faces, et repose sur un support central auquel adhèrent quatre colonnettes. Des bas reliefs sont sculptés sur le fût central : Saint Martin divisant son manteau, l'Annonciation, la Visitation, le Baptême du Christ par Saint Jean." The font is of the single volume type, made of yellowish limestone, octagonal at the top but becoming square below, withfour thick columns with capitals and bases that frame the four scenes on the sides: St. Martin sharing his cape, the Anuunciation, Visitation and Baptism of Christ in the Jordan; the splaying base is moulded, and two of its sides are carved with foliage etc; damaged now, even adter its restoration after WWI.
