Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966-) as a former Romanesque capital now converted into holy-water stoup. The entry in Palissy [ref.: IM42001679] mentions among the "Oeuvres non étudiées" a "piscine baptismale" and a "bénitier", but it is not clear which of these remained in the church, which disappeared after the original inventory ["Plusieurs objets ont disparus de l'église de Moingt"], many sold for the benefit of the poor ["ornements sont vendus aux enchères et le produit de la vente versé aux pauvres et indigents de la commune"], and which were moved to nearby churches when this one became disused at the end of the 18th century. A stoup re-worked from an old stone capital ["chapiteau transformé en bénitier"] is illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: IVR82_10420145] from a 1973 photograph [NB: some details about this object are inaccessible from this source as the link to the old 'dossier' is either broken or not allowed at the time]. The basin of the stoup, without the base it had in 1973, has been cleaned and is now [2015] displayed inside the church; the sides are deeply carved with large fruit cones and tendrils on the sides, moulded around the top.
