Listed in Le Patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999, v. 1, p. 483) as a holy-water stoup carved out of a Romanesque capital. The basin has a polygonal shape and is ornamented with acanthus leaves around the sides, forming one piece with the square backdrop. On-site notes: the granite stoup is wall-mounted and does not really appear to have ever been a capital (?); the date of it, as it now shows, is probably 15th-century.
