Noted in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) simply as a 12th-century baptismal font. Described in Michel Claveyrolas: "Fonts baptismaux. La cuve est encadrée par quatre colonnettes dont la partie supérieure est taillée en forme de chapiteau. Entre les chapiteaux, la cuve est profilée en biseau. La margelle, de même hauteur que les chapiteaux et le biseau, en suit le contour." Monolithic cylindrical basin with four clustered columns decorated with capitals (moulding and leaf); rests directly on the ground. No font cover present but the indentation around the inner top rim suggests it was meant to accommodate a round cover.
