Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Val-d'Oise (1999) as a round (?) font whose basin sides are ornamented with four badly damaged scenes: Last Supper, Baptism of Christ, Resurrection and Adoration of the Shepherds; the basin has a deep scotia under the rim; below it a band of mixed motifs (diamonds, dots, rosettes, etc.); the scenes are said to have been hammered off during the Revolution. The short stem of the base has palmette motif and the lower base is plain. The flat wooden lid is hinged in the centre and opens to both ends. The Dictionnaire des églises...
