Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes des Yvelines (2000) as a 16th-century baptismal font shaped like a round capital and ornamented with trelis-like netting over floral motifs, with paint still on it. It is not clear whether the font is a recycled capital or it was built in that shape, although the former is the most likely. The upper side of the basin, at the rim, has an inscription [text not available]. The basin is raised on a square lower base or plinth with trimmed corners, and there is plain flat wooden lid.
