Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000) as a 15th-century double-font carved out of a single block of granite. The basin sides appear plain except for two wide rectangles incised on them. The base, rectangular and almost as long and wide as the basins, has Ogee arches and other Flamboyant motif. There appears to be an iron reinforcement band around the basin sides. Both basins have flat lids which are secured in place with a cross-bar that threads through the lid rings reaching from one end of the font to the other.
