Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Finistère (1998) as a wooden font of the late 17th century; it is roughly chalice-shaped, octagonal both at top and bottom and with a rather small basin (the inner stone lining is made of "tuffeau de Loire"); the underbowl is ornamented with large acanthus leaves; below these -it is difficult to speak of base or basin in this context- there is a row of shell motifs and, still lower down, a row of pearl and diamond motifs. A wall-mounted holy-water stoup of the same period is also reported in this church.
