A plain round baptismal font is illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de Calvados (2001, v. 1: 699); the basin and the lower base are roughly cylindrical and of the same width, the stem in between only slightly narrower. The only telling detail appears to be the wooden font cover for, though plain, has the old lock type consisting of a straight iron bar that goes through the iron eyelets of the basin upper rim.
