Studied and illustrated in Salvan-Guillotin (1996), as part of a group with those at the French parish churches of Saint-Savin-en-Lavedan, Pierrefitte-Nestalas and Ilhet, and makes reference to other stoups and fonts (Arles, Saint-Malo, Perros-Guirec, Fidenza, Torcello) that have similar atlante or 'strong man' motifs on them. The date given by Salvan-Guillotin for this object in the early-13th century. Listed, described and illustrated in Corbel (2000: p. 186) as a white marble, wall-mounted stoup. It consistes of a hole in the wall which provides access to the small water-well, and the most interesting part, an "atlante" figure holding up the basin side, a frieze of six vertical columns with a Maltese cross in the centre.
