(1966- ) as the base of the holy-water stoup: it is a cylinder of red and green marble at whose extremes have been added, "tan bien que mal", two corinthian capitals of grey marble, one with elegant veined roundels, the other with beautiful palmettes and large crosses; these odd parts are believed to be Gallo-Roman remnants.
