A holy-water stoup illustrated in Vivier-Seguin: it appears octagonal all over; the basin has plain sides but has a fleur-de-lis on one of the chamfer sides; there is central torus where the basin meets the base; at least two of the sides of the base display a half-ball motif; the lower base has several mouldings as ornament. V-S date it to the same period as the double-font in this church, i.e., 16th-17th cent. (Vivier, 1941)
