Font Notes: Click to view

Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM64000440]: "Cuve circulaire, très légèrement évasée, posée sur un stylobate de même rayon formé d'un gros boudin à rainure médiane. En-dessous, un étage d'arcature reposant de deux en deux sur de petites colonettes, faisant comme des clés pendantes entre les colonettes. La cuve semble monolithe. [...] 12e siècle, 13e siècle (?)". Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) as a Romanesque baptismal font [11th century?]. On-site notes: cylindrical basin with sides ornamented with a blind arcade, a column only on every-second arch-head, the column-less arches ending in a leaf; the columns of the arcade are varied: some torsade, some plain; there is a band of rosettes and other foliage and floral motifs above the arch, below the upper rim. The base is indicated by an indentation at the bottom of the basin, but it all appears to be a single block of sandstone. A tall metal cage, like a railing, stands on the font and blocks access to its well, but there is a wooden cover on it as well. The artist or workshop who carved the Daniel-and-the-lions capital of the apse must have done the font too; it is the same hand. The font shows evidence of a recent restoration [19thC?].
