Combrit

Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Finistère (1998) as a 16th-century granite baptismal font; the octagonal basin has short plain vertical sides and a tall concave underbowl area, also plain and with sixteen sides, each pair matched to a single side of the basin.. The base has a rope moulding at top and sixteen sides below (matching those of the underbowl); the lower part of the base is plain. There appears to be two pieces to this font, the top one reaching all the way below the rope moulding. The whole has a suspiciously clean appearence, as it had been drastically clean or recut. [NB: the detached side basin is dated to the 18th century and not listed in this Index]
