Bullion

Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes des Yvelines (2000) as a medieval monolithic baptismal font; it is chalice-shaped, though the basin is oval and raised on a circular base and quadrangular lower base; the rim of the oval basin has a moulding and the underbowl has a very short fluted pattern; the upper and middle volumes of the base are rounded, like fat mouldings; the middle one, which rests on the square lower base, had some motif at each of the corners but they are now so damaged that it is not possible to even venture a guess as to their original shape and form. The source [cf. supra] suggests this may be a recycled 12th-century font. Wooden medium-height dome font cover with a Latin cross finial. Font listed in Palissy [ref.: IM78001055]: "Fonts baptismaux (cuve baptismale à infusion) [...] Calcaire [...] H = 50 ; la = 75 [...] Ornementation (croix) [...] Couvercle en bois peint [...] Collatéral sud, première travée [...] Fonts baptismaux du 12e siècle (?) placés à cet endroit en 1836."
