Listed in Le Patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999, v. 2, p. 645) as a medieval basin of roughly square shape meant to be wall-mounted, therefore its only ornamentation appears on the front and outer corners: at each corner, a very sketchy human figure and, between them, a shield with an unidentified coat-of-arms. It appears very worn and the source [cf. supra] attributes its provenance to the church at Vieux-Bourg.
