16th-17th century pedestal holy-water stoup (one of two) located at the right side of the main entrance door on the inside. The basin is round and has ribbed pattern all around, but has, superimposed on the ribs, a chalice with Host over it on a foliage background (the Host has Christ on the cross in it). The middle part of the stoup has the base of the chalice and foliage motif. The lower part has a shell (coquille St-Jacques) and a trefoiled leaf motif inverted. [NB: the source (Patrimoine, 2000, v. 1, p. 41) mentions "un de deux exemplaires"; we found the two similar but not identical; the one on the left has been broken and repaired].
