Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de la Loire-Atlantique (1999) as a hemispheric stoup in a dark marble-like stone with dating of 1611 from an inscription; the same inscription refers to two persons by name, ["Georges Rolland et à Guillemette Davi sa femme"] probably the donors; there is also a graffito "semblent d'évoquer des têtes de mort" [=appearing to evoque the heads of the dead] at the rim.
