Font Notes:
Described as one of two medieval stoups in the "collection lapidaire du Musée archéologique de Dijon" (Sculpture médiévale en Bourgogne, 2000): two pieces believed to have been the basin and lower base [the stem of the base is missing] of a holy-water stoup; the elevation of the basin has six sides of a regular octagon [one is damaged], with the last two left unfinished at a 90-degree angle to be wall-mounted; the finished sides of the basin have trilobe motifs. The lower base is square with the upper half carved with mouldings in the same octagonal shape as the basin. The source [cf. supra] gives its provenance as unknown.
