Base-less cylindrical font has blind arcade of 13 arches and two roll mouldings in high relief around the basin sides. Vivier-Seguin (1941) mention that its similarity with some English fonts has been raised, specifically with the one at Portchester; they also make reference to De Lasteyrie's analogy to the Verneuil ornamentation.
