Baptismal font noted in Emmanuel Garland's Les Églises romanes du Pays Tòy (avec une proposition de chronologie comparée), in Mémoires de la Société archéologique du Midi de la France, t. LXXVI (2016), p. 49-74 [https://societearcheologiquedumidi.fr/_samf/memoires/t_76/050-075_EG.pdf] [accessed 13 July 2023]: "Les fonts baptismaux se présentent sous l’aspect d’une grande cuve cylindrique inscrite dans un massif carré, flanquée aux quatre coins de cylindres sculptés dans la masse. son origine romane ne paraît pas faire de doute"; the same source [cf. supra] mentions its similarity to the font at Saligos and to a holy-water stoup in Sassins. Garland (ibid.) does not mention a stoup here. The font is illustrated in Momentum [https://monumentum.fr/monument-historique/pa00095371/esquieze-sere-eglise-de-sere] [accessed 13 July 2023] with reference to the building listing in Mérimée [ref.: PA00095371]; also illustrated in Momentum is a crude stoup, a cylindrical basin cemented to the wall [cf. ImagesArea]. Additionally the Dictionnaire des églises.. (1966- ) reports a stoup here dated to 1602 but still in the Gothic style [date from inscription?].
