Listed in Le Patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999, v. 2, p. 636) as a composite holy-water stoup: the basin is vat-shaped and rather irregular while the base is a former square capital with a "Y" motif ornamentation and small four-petal rosettes (?). Both parts are mentioned in the source [cf. supra] as belonging to the former Romanesque church, its site located about 350 m. south of the present one. Ther appear to to be two objects that may be, or habe been. used as either font, stoup or both [cf. ImagesArea].
