Vivier-Seguin (1941) describe this font as having a hemispherical basin with very tall arches that rest on six colonnettes, around a central slightly larger round shaft; the spandrels of the arches have trefoiled motifs in them. The wooden font cover is dome-shaped with pattern ornamentation divided into six sections, corresponding to those of the font; the finial has a serpent coiling itself around a sphere which has a cross on its top (a/p Vivier, 1941). Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM50000802]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] Pierre [...] 14e siècle [...] Nef, au bas". Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: APMH00081996]
