Vivier-Seguin (1941) report and illustrate this font as having a rectangular basin with the front corners trimmed and only two ornamented sides, since it is supposed that it was originally in a corner with the blind sides rough. The long font side has seven Ogee arches, the central one shorter to accommodate a fleur-de-lis right above it, while the other arches have alternating leaves and flowers in the spandrils. The trimmed left corner has an "orbs" with a cross on it; the one on the right, the bust of an angel in prayer. The narrow side has plain Ogee arches. The bottom of the basin is adorned with a rope motif above the chamfer. The base is narrower, but also rectangular. In 1941 there was still a wooden cover shaped like a squat pyramid (description based on ill. and notes in Vivier, 1941). Described in the web page of the Diocese de Coutances & Avranches http://catholique-coutances.cef.fr/sanctuaires/chapdelaine/] as a beautiful baptismal font of the 14th century.
