Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM58000473]: "Bénitier en forme de mortier [...] métal : fondu [...] 16e siècle". A brronze holy-water stoup shaped like a bucket, very similar to the cast iron stoups typical of this area, with chamfered bands and handles with rings; the sides of the basin are decorated with parallel mouldings. This stoup appears to be in poor shape, with several cracks on the sides.
