Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Val-d'Oise (1999) as a chalice-shaped font and dated to the 13th century. The hemispheric basin has a band of foliage around the upper side; the rest and the underbowl are plain. The stem of the base is a broad column with torus at top and bottom; the lower base is square with foliage ornamentation at the corners. The flat wooden lid appears modern. Listed also in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ), although the name of the church is given as "Église de Jouy-le-Comte"
