Listed in the Patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999, v. 1, p. 57) as a 17th century stone font. The upper rim of the basin is circular, but the body of the font ends down in a square cluster of colonnettes, almost like a thick fluted pattern. It is covered with a rather homely modern wooden lid with a cross finial.
