Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) as a holy-water stoup of complex design and uncertain date, supported on "un magnifique fragment antique de marbre blanc"; the same source informs that it was discovered during the prospections carried out in the north flank of the church circa 1884 and that it appears to be part of the freeze of a tomb richly decorated with grapevines inhabited by birds.
