Bazus-Aure No. 2 / Badús / Gassia de Basus / Gassie de Basus / Gassie de Bazuz

Described in the Dictionnaire des églises.. (1966- ) as a 16th-century square stoup. On-site notes: this slightly irregular square marble holy-water stoup looks like a mortar, except that one of the corners is unfinished and the two sides corresponding to that angle are rough hewn; this probably means that it was either originally wall-mounted or was re-cut for that purpose. It now stands on a square pedestal to which the stoup is no match. The basin has a square plant but the upper rim has been rounded and half-ball motifs carved in the three finished corners; the underbowl has also been slightly rounded.
