Chalice-shaped marble font identified as 16th century in our source (Le patrimoine des communes des Alpes-Maritimes, v. 2, p. 579), though, like the water stoup in this same church, having a certain Baroque air and looking later than the date given in the source. The basin is round with ribbed underbowl; the base opens wide like a cone at the bottom and appears ornamented with fluted motif. [cf. Index entry for Mougins No. 1 for details on the water stoup]
