16th-17th century pedestal holy-water stoup (one of two) located at the left 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 tripple palmette (?) motif inverted. [NB: the source (Patrimoine, 2000, v. 1, p. 41) mentions "un de deux exemplaires"; we found the two almost identical, but this one, on the left, has been broken and repaired].
