Listed in Le Patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999, v. 1, p. 518) as a holy-water stoup of the 14th century. The polygonal (quadrangular?) base is of extremely crude work and devoid of ornamentation and has a massive base to match. The stoup is confirmed in [https://www.allier-hotels-restaurants.com/poi/eglise-sainte-catherine/] [accessed 3 January 2022], but the is no mention of a font in it. [NB: a former parish and church existed in the 'Commanderie d'Huvers' of the Kights Hospitaller 2-3 km North of Liernolles, but there is nothing left of it].
