Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Val-d'Oise (1999): the round basin has a protruding lip-like rim and has ribbed pattern on the sides and underbowl, on one of the sides a lion head on it; the "lip" of the rim bears an inscription in French, Hebrew and Latin [cf. Inscription]. There is a plain flat wooden lid covering it. The square pedestal of the base is obviously not the original nor does is suit the basin; it looks like a Roman altar.
