Described by R. Crozet in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- , III, C 203) as a Romanesque of polylobed holy-water stoup. Described and illustrated in Le Patrimoine des communes de la Vienne (2002, v. 1: 526) as the original 12th-century stoup from the old Romanesque church; the outer shape is square at the top with a rounded underbowl, the ornamentation restricted to four vertical incised lines dividing the surpace into faulse ribs; the inside well of the basin is poly-lobed, with eight sides. The cylindrical pedestal on which it stands is of a later date, according to the latter source [Flohic ref. no.: 86131002]
