Listed in Le Patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999) as an octagonal unmounted font, which the source describes as "destinée à être placé dans un angle", probably because some of the sides of the octagon are unfinished; those sides visible on the source have Ogee windows or motifs on them. The round well of the basin appears to have been partitioned on the inside [to be confirmed on site]. The Dictionnaire des églises... (1966-) identifies the material as limestone. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM03000271]: "Fonts baptismaux de forme octogonale, dont chaque angle est orné d'un pilastre, chaque face est décorée de fenestrages ou de rosaces. Ils sont surmontés d'un couvercle en bois en forme de clocheton. [...] 15e siècle".
