Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000) as a 15th-16th century rectangular double font; the upper volume, which contains two inner wells, is rectangular, with the sides tapering in slightly at the bottom, where it has several parallel incised lines; of the two inner wells, the larger is hexagonal, the narrower side inwards; the second and smaller basin is rectangular; the basin block rests on two small square blocks which, according to the source [cf. supra], are modern. The font looks very much like a laundry tub.
