Described by R. Crozet in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) as a holy-water stoup the pedestal base of which is Romanesque and ornamented with long-robed figures; the figures are haloed. The present font is modern {NB: we have no information on the font of the original 12th-century church here]. Stoup listed in Palissy [ref.: PM17000029]: "bénitier [...] Personnages nimbés servant d'atlantes. ils ont les bras levés et les mains posées sur la corniche du piédestal [...] mauvais état [...] 12e siècle [...] Cette sculpture sert de support de bénitier".
