Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM65000568]: "Cuve d'un seul bloc à dix pans coupés entouré par un cordon sculpté et reposant sur un bourelet circulaire. La décoration sculptée est faite d'un cordon en relief au milieu de la cuve et décoré de boucles à l'aplomb des arêtes. La base est un élément de construction antique en marbre blanc à double moulure en gradin sur une face. La forme très particulière de la cuve, dont les pans sont alternativement convexes et concaves, évoquent l'art décoratif oriental [...] 13e siècle (?) [...] La tradition rapporte que cette cuve aurait été apportée en France de Saragosse après la reconquète par les croisés au 12e siècle." On-site notes: limestone basin of a holy-water stoup, now raised on a modern square stone pillar; it is polylobed in shape (five lobes) and made of limestone (?). The basin sides are vertical and there is a roll-moulding making up the lip of the upper rim; there is also a thinner rope motif, with a loop at the arris of each basin side, along the lower side of the basin.
